Haiti rebuilds: Northern Industrial Park, Caracol set to open in March
A meeting was held at the Hotel Montana, Petionville, on Wednesday to focus on setting environmental guidelines for the Northern Industrial Park nearing completion and set to open in March 2012.
The meeting was called at the initiative of the Ministry of the Environment and was attended by representatives of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), USAid, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Global Environment Fund. The aim, according to Vision 2000 Radio, was to mobilize the necessary funding for this purpose.
The parties considered ways and means to reconcile the economic interests of industrial park in Caracol and the natural heritage of the region.
With a high-level consultation, the Minister of Environment, Joseph Toussaint, looked to educate international partners involved in the new fund of a strategic environmental framework that could anticipate and respond to the possibilities of a negative impact on the region.
