The Mayorships office has just recently concluded a 2 year long project to bring new municipal offices to San Juan del Sur.  The project, located at the entrance of the Chocalata highway, has been designed to improve the responsible use of local taxes.  The office is a two story modern style building that offers a much more modern office setting than its older version.  In comparison with the old offices, which were located between San Juan’s Catholic church and the ocean, these new headquarters have a more progressive design and are helping revamp the image of the Alcadia (Mayorship).

Alongside the Mayorships new office there is also a massive one story building that revamped to be used as the Town Hall. The hopes of the mayor are that this will be used as a meeting place for all of San Juan residents.

The Town Hall, which was once a fishing refinery, will be a place where local concerns and ideas can be brought forward. The Mayor envisions this as a vehicle that will undoubtedly increase local participation. The town hall is also designed to encourage foreign investment and the involvement of real estate developers.  Already there have been several meetings in the town hall where local developers have been encouraged to participate. One of the most important being the Investment Fair, which took place at the town hall about 3 weeks ago.

The mayor of San Juan del Sur, Eduardo Holmann, has been characterized by following through with his local initiatives. Already the town is seeing great changes with the creation of a new Mayorship office, a Town Hall and a Tourist Boulevard, which broke ground about 3 months ago.  All these initiatives are improving the quality of life in San Juan greatly, making a more attractive tourism and investment destination.
