Boosting Santiago’s development: CDES highlights the impact of government investments
The Council for the Strategic Development of Santiago (CDES) has expressed its support for the investment agenda that the central government is executing in the province. Ricardo Fondeur Victoria, president of the entity, highlighted the importance of President Luis Abinader’s constant presence in the Heart City, considering it a key strategy to closely supervise the progress of the fundamental works for the Northern region.
For the business and social sector of Santiago, it is essential that the president maintains fluid and face-to-face communication with the vital forces of the province, ensuring that strategic projects advance as scheduled to transform local infrastructure.
We feel pleased and would like to have you more often dispatching from the city of Santiago.

Infrastructure works and strategic priorities
One of the key points on the development agenda is the expansion of the Cibao Central Aqueduct. Fondeur Victoria emphasized that this project represents a long-awaited solution for the community, as it will optimize the drinking water supply for both Santiago and Moca, integrating the latter municipality directly into the system.
In addition to water management, the business leader positively assessed other advances in the province, highlighting:
- The implementation of bidding processes for new infrastructure.
- The focus on urban mobility and connectivity projects.
- The strengthening of the productive apparatus through investments in strategic sectors.
The CDES emphasized the need to maintain a periodic review of these initiatives. According to the organization, it is vital to update priorities as the city evolves, ensuring that public spending has a direct impact on the quality of life of citizens and on the economic competitiveness of the entire area.
The Council’s assessment comes at a time when Santiago is consolidating itself as a hub for infrastructure projects, which reinforces the commitment of the productive sectors to ensure that urban growth is carried out in a planned and efficient manner.
