Terestella González Denton, the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for mayor of San Juan, presented on Wednesday her government proposal called “San Juan Habitable: Conservation of the Environment.”
During the presentation at her campaign office in Hato Rey, González Denton emphasized that for San Juan to be truly habitable, it is essential to adopt a comprehensive vision that considers the well-being of citizens, equality in access to resources and environmental conservation.
“The lack of vision in past administrations has had negative implications for the quality of life of San Juan residents and the economic development of our city, in addition to affecting responsibility for environmental impact in all its forms,” González Denton said in a written statement.
Among the initiatives highlighted in her proposal are the implementation of green infrastructure to mitigate flooding, the promotion of recycling and renewable energy, water decontamination, and reforestation throughout the city. In addition, the candidate proposed the creation of the Office of Environmental and Energy Affairs, which will be responsible for developing and implementing sustainable environmental policies.
González Denton stressed the importance of robust environmental planning and the need to efficiently use the budget and federal funds available to make San Juan a healthier and more sustainable city.
“San Juan must be at the forefront of innovation to address, with immediacy and professionalism, the challenges that new times present to us,” the candidate said.
