For years, we have analyzed its challenges and opportunities, identifying strategies that promote sustainable economic development, strengthen human capital, and maximize the value of its natural and cultural assets.<\/p><p>As a result of this work, we proposed the creation of the Eastern Region Economic Development Council (CDERE), a nonprofit corporation that would serve as a collaborative platform between the government, municipalities, the private sector, academia, and community organizations. This vision has been formalized in House Bill 862, introduced by the Speaker of the <a href=\"https:\/\/camara.registrok12.com\/\">House of Representatives<\/a>, Carlos \u201cJohnny\u201d M\u00e9ndez, at the request of our organization.<\/p><p>CDERE aims to coordinate, support, and implement strategies that advance key areas for the sustainable development of the Eastern Region: mobility and transportation, the management and promotion of its natural and cultural attractions, the strengthening of human capital, and regional governance. Its creation represents a crucial step toward a more integrated and efficient governance structure, capable of aligning efforts and resources that are currently scattered across more than 50 agencies, municipalities, and entities with limited or fragmented jurisdictions.<\/p><p>The vision guiding this proposal is based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/foundationforpuertorico.org\/en\/visitor-economy-performance-model\/\">impact of the Visitor Economy<\/a> as a driver of regional development. In 2024, more than two million visitors came to the Eastern Region, generating around $1.3 billion in direct spending \u2014 17% of Puerto Rico\u2019s total visitor economy. However, we know the region\u2019s potential goes far beyond tourism: its strategic location, port assets, available land, and human talent position it to attract investment, foster innovation, and revitalize productive sectors.<\/p><p>If approved, the measure would require an initial investment of $1.5 million from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desarrollo.pr.gov\/\">the Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC)<\/a>, designated to establish CDERE and the Eastern Region Economic Development Fund. This investment would be just the starting point for an effort that could generate thousands of jobs and over a billion dollars in new economic activity for the island.<\/p><p>At <a href=\"http:\/\/foundationforpuertorico.org\/\">Foundation for Puerto Rico<\/a>, we continue working diligently to make this vision a reality. We are convinced that multisector collaboration is key to achieving a deep and lasting transformation in the Eastern Region\u2014one that drives prosperity, innovation, and equity for all the communities it encompasses.<\/p><p>We invite you to read more about this important initiative and its potential impact in the article published by<a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.elnuevodia.com%2Fnegocios%2Fturismo%2Fnotas%2Ffoundation-for-puerto-rico-busca-dirigir-el-desarrollo-economico-de-la-region-este%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHiHF94TSezXjFLI8AIT6qUvRamqvmNLOOhPGkQKdmK6_nKfjYalsS2U1a_jA_aem_bmO_Df8JqHv2vqrxyfNSRw&amp;h=AT3xmw2Fzd9f89e9gm-_oRo8jdK_m4dn7adesv50WSUGGneMLgKAMP0vkYfo-n-5KSdtuc6NLGokYmatZnLF3m-0PCFO5G0QVWZ1n-bPTTVhfeNAoWFAxYkRpnWzOn-4-0es68kaICM_1cVlAlw&amp;__tn__=H-R&amp;c%5b0%5d=AT2CGAvCzniNOM3mMh3A92d5ZKeWu62fAXc4fjcnX9QKICQrEtnfQ8oho0GwAz3n7lYOtCuM8fSxx3x13JMd8wBPxBw695au3K8Cu-JVaxmaygCOLvLuqZfehQQgJt0Kved_u2ZghOe4YR0ZZ6x-Two6itAzNk7n7g_22Tco_tGO7Q5esStc3d-V5wt2210MZhIecsLzqRXy09JNxZgXwdbp\"> <em>El Nuevo D\u00eda<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving a Bill for the Economic Development of the Eastern Region At Foundation for Puerto Rico, we firmly believe in the transformative potential of the Eastern Region.
