Street Project in Corozal Continues

The Corozal Town Council's drainage project on 5th Avenue from 6th Street South to 7th Avenue, continues. This week, the first section of the drain was prepared by workers of the Council. The drain will mitigate flooding that has affected residents in the area for decades. Also this will help to preserve the section of the road which will be paved by the Council in the coming weeks.

The Council remains fully committed to improving our town's infrastructure, tackling critical areas of need including street maintenance, street paving and drainage work with its own resources. Mayor Rigo Vellos and the Council express gratitude to residents for their cooperation and understanding as the Council carries out work throughout the town.
