Quotes

"I am Scott's mother and I live in San Ignacio and I came up here for the public to help me look for my son who has been missing since April 27th and hasn't reached home since and I have not heard about him since"
" This is a grant from my government to be of some of help for the construction of your infrastructure and we are very honored and very pleased to do so because you know Taiwan and Belize - we are very coridal partners."
Christy Mastry - Sustainable Tourism Project "Well North Front street right now is about maybe another three or four weeks away from completion. The entire project was scheduled to be totally completed by the end of April. North Front St. had some unique challenges that many of the other roads didn't have or not in as much dire need of attention as North Front St. did. It was the variation of the entrances of all of the buildings to the actual sidewalk and then the relationship to the sidewalk to the road bed itself. So because of that it definitely posed a drainage challenge to the contractor. So we looked at each of the actual store front and entries uniquely. We set a zero point where all drainage would work on differently on both sides of the street and then rectify the drainage solution. As you can see now out there differently on one side of the street being a culvert solution. On the other side being kind of a gully on the lower side where the entrances were closer to the actual sidewalk itself. So because of that we're probably going to be a couple weeks over the original April deadline. But it's going to be a much better solution at the end of the day because drainage is one of the things that you have to resolve when you're working on any kind of roadwork street improvements and then also the sidewalk conditions as well."
