AAFAF - Autoridad de Asesoría Financiera y Agencia Fiscal de Puerto Rico

9 proyectos que el equipo fiscal de Pedro Pierluisi tendrá en su agenda de trabajo para este cuatrenio

En su mayoría estarán pagados con los fondos federales que lleguen para la recuperación de Puerto Rico

 

En su primera reunión, el equipo fiscal y económico del gobierno trazó hoy, lunes, su agenda de trabajos prioritarios que estará respaldada mayormente por la inyección de fondos federales para la recuperación de la isla.

 

En esa agenda se incluyen los siguientes proyectos:

 

  1. La rehabilitación de los cascos urbanos.

 

  1. Incrementar el acceso de la banda ancha de Internet.

 

  1. El desarrollo de la antigua base Roosevelt Roads.

 

  1. La construcción del nuevo hospital de trauma en Centro Médico.

 

  1. Mejoras al hospital de trauma en Mayagüez.

 

  1. La extensión de la PR-10, la PR-5 y la PR-22.

 

  1. El desarrollo económico de Vieques y Culebra.

 

  1. El desarrollo del Puerto Las Américas de Ponce.

 

  1. El desarrollo de Bahía Urbana.

 

“Todos vamos a estar en la misma página para que estos proyectos sean encaminados y comiencen su ejecución en estos cuatro años”, dijo la secretaria de la Gobernación, Noelia García, al concluir la reunión del equipo económico con el gobernador Pedro Pierluisi.

 

La agenda está cimentada en la inyección de sobre $80,000 millones de fondos federales, estatales y privados. Pero el grueso son fondos federales, reconoció el director de la Autoridad de Asesoría Financiera y Agencia Fiscal de Puerto Rico (AAFAF), Omar Marrero. Precisó que habría $20 millones federales CDBG-DR y poco más de $40 millones de la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, en inglés).

 

“En gran medida la economía no ha colapsado durante el ultimo año gracias a los fondos federales. Así que eso no es nada malo tener en una estrategia que gran parte de la inversión va a ser con fondos federales”, dijo Marrero.

 

Preguntado sobre si existe un plan B en caso de que se dilate la llegada a la isla de fondos federales, como en efecto ocurrió, tras el azote del huracán María, Marrero sostuvo que la relación que mantiene Pierluisi con la administración demócrata de Joe Biden ayudará a agilizar el desembolso del dinero.

 

“Desde que comenzamos la administración y tuvimos el privilegio de participar en esa reunión con la Casa Blanca, el gobernador se la tiró por el centro del plato y dijo ‘estas son las prioridades’. De allá para acá hemos visto como la administración ha respondido a ese reclamo del gobernadora. Vamos a poder ver que eso va a seguir mejorando gracias a relación que ha podido desarrollar el gobernador”, sostuvo Marrero.

 

Reconoció que las iniciativas económicas requerirán enmendar el plan fiscal certificado por la Junta de Supervisión Fiscal (JSF) en mayo del 2020.

 

También habría un reajuste del plan de pago de la deuda, pero Marrero dijo que no podia dar detalles porque es un asunto en el que tiene una mordaza por directriz del Tribunal Federal.
