Major projects for the reconstruction of downtown Port-au-Prince will be visible during the month of September says the Minister of Finance, Ronald Beaudin. Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti which currently offers the image of ruin should in the coming weeks welcome the first missiles in charge of preparing the sites. In the coming days, the Haitian government will publish an order declaring a public shopping center in Port-au-Prince. Present building owners will be required to submit copies of their title deeds during the expropriation process.
The first stage is to demolish and clean up all the debris left after the January 12 earthquake. Specialists from the Institute for the Protection of National Heritage (ISPAN) will be involved in the evaluation of damage buildings.
The Haitian authorities are planning to save the buildings with heritage value. The reconstruction plan of the capital, developed by the Prince Charles of England Foundation, will be executed promptly as the work progresses, emphasized the Minister of Finance. Speaking on Radio Metropole, Mr. Beaudin indicated that the National Center has stopped demolition work to await the formation of several teams to help identify the properties.
Beaudin assured that the clearance work will be launched in early September since contracts have been signed with specialized firms.
The first new buildings will be a Convention Center and the Central Bank, the Palace of Justice and the Legislative Palace.
Members from the private sector will start their investment after the completion of the zoning authorities. At the same time, the first elements of the security arrangements will be implemented in different perimeters.
