With these 1,000 titles delivered this Friday , the total number delivered reaches 9,000, and with another 8,000 that will be delivered soon , it will reach 17,000 titles.
In this way, the president said that San Pedro de Macorís will be the province where the most land titles will have been delivered.
The land titles delivered today are distributed in the communities of: Villa Maranata, Restauración, Villa Paredes, Barrio Independencia, Villa Progreso and Villa Velásquez, impacting more than 4,000 people, according to a press release from the Presidency which states that prior to this delivery another of 8,000 titles was made in Consuelo, which adds up to 9,000 in total delivery.
Speaking during the ceremony, the head of state said that "this will be the province with the most titles awarded, and that makes us happy, because we know what it means.".
The president emphasized that the awarding of these land titles represents true social justice. He added that, with their titles, recipients will be able to access loans from formal banking institutions, ensuring support for small, medium, or large projects.
“With that property title you can go to a formal banking institution and get a loan, and also with that title you know that you have a small, medium or large asset to leave to your family,” he said.
The governor assured that, since the beginning of his administration, they have been working tirelessly to overcome bureaucracy and make this delivery a reality.
“Congratulations to everyone, when you walk out that door, a different person will emerge, with security, with confidence, with hope, but above all with peace of mind,” he expressed.
For his part, the executive director of the State Land Titling Technical Unit, Duarte Méndez Peña, highlighted the firm conviction of the government headed by President Luis Abinader to improve the quality of life of all Dominicans.
Méndez Peña reported that the work carried out together with the State Sugar Council (CEA) covered a geographical area of 110,039.50 square meters.
He also stated that the titling process meant a savings of RD$80 million for the beneficiaries, since, had they carried out the work independently, they would have paid a minimum of 80,000 pesos each.
On the other hand, the official highlighted President Abinader's dedication to San Pedro de Macorís, a province that has benefited from land titling projects.
Méndez Peña mentioned notable achievements, such as the delivery of 8,627 land title certificates in the municipality of Consuelo. He also detailed ongoing projects in the municipalities of Quisqueya I and II (6,566 certificates issued), Ramón Santana (800 certificates issued), and the Villa Progreso I sector (968 certificates issued).
These joint efforts total 8,334 degree certificates, scheduled to be delivered in the coming months.
By consolidating these projects, the Government intends to deliver an impressive total of 17,961 title certificates, solidifying San Pedro de Macorís as one of the provinces most benefited by this transformative plan.
“President, by adding up all these projects, we would be delivering a total of 17,961 title certificates, making San Pedro de Macorís one of the provinces that has benefited the most from this plan and that has been truly transformed by the change,” said Duarte Méndez.
