This EDA investment funds long-term recovery planning for six regions in Puerto Rico outside of San Juan that were impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The investment will provide technical assistance to create a destination plan for each region, build the capacity of existing small and medium size businesses, assist with the creation of new tourism related companies, and provide workshops promoting business continuity and preparedness. The plan will also assist with sustainability in each region and establish strong relationships with local leaders, government, and the business community to increase resiliency and preparedness for future catastrophic events.
