Commission Evaluates Construction of New Baseball Stadium
The first official meeting of the advisory commission designated to study the feasibility of building a new baseball stadium was held at the facilities of the Banco de Desarrollo y Exportaciones (BANDEX). The project would be located on state-owned land in Ensanche La Fe. The commission, led by magistrate Jorge Subero Isa, was established by Decree No. 306-5. Its purpose is to analyze the feasibility of the sports project and evaluate other possible urban developments in the area. During the meeting, a critical path estimated at six months was established. At the end of this period, a final report with the commission’s conclusions will be presented.In the meeting, technical, legal, and strategic analyses were initiated. The internal regulations were also defined, the secretary was appointed, and the operational guidelines of the commission were established. The project is envisioned as an “urban-sports” development with an integral approach for the city.“The first objective is to determine if any project presented for a new stadium is viable, and the second is that the only thing the Dominican State will contribute is the land,” expressed Subero Isa, making it clear that a public-private partnership is being sought to carry out the work. “It is the private sector that will finance the project if it is viable,” he added.
