The Economic Development Administration awarded a $11.25 million Project Grant to the Municipality of Jayuya, Puerto Rico under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (CFDA 11.307) federal grant program. The funding will support construction of Puerto Rico's first municipal asphalt plant in Jayuya to serve the central mountainous region's road maintenance needs. The plant will help keep regional roads in optimal condition, which is critical to business continuity. Increased pharmaceutical production during the COVID-19 pandemic has strained the region's ability to satisfy demand due to topographical challenges and deteriorated roads.
