| Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:11:38 UT Window for Puerto Vallarta Downtown Remodeling Extended |
|
Municipal Tourism Director Jose Luis Diaz Borioli announced a two-week extension to use a 28 million peso grant in the third stage of Puerto Vallarta's downtown remodeling. "Since the source of this grant was federal, we had a short window of opportunity to implement it. Thanks to the extension, we can continue with the project," said Diaz Borioli. The city official also announced that an additional 25.4 million grant has been earmarked to continue with phase four of the remodeling project after Easter. This phase extends from Hotel Rosita southbound to Isla Río Cuale, and three blocks inland from the Malecon. "Other agreements are being considered with Telmex (Telefonos de Mexico) and Telecable to bring their cabling underground," added Diaz Borioli. Finally, Diaz Borioli remarked about complains voiced by the local community as to the resason this work is carried out during high season. "Unfortunately the fiscal resources available through federal and state funds do not understand about seasons. They are ‘use-it or lose-it,’” he explained. |

Vallarta Film Festival founder Robert Roessel is participating as co-producer through his independent company Cine Club Vallarta. It is important to note that recently-appointed Puerto Vallarta mayor Salvador Gonzalez is strongly supporting a new Film Commission, through which projects like this have come to fruition, along with the visit of the Mexican soap opera La Loba’s cast and crew to produce some scenes in our city. Who is Eric Roberts? Eric Anthony Roberts came to notoriety in 1978, earning a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the film King of the Gypsies. In 1985 he earned both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination for his supporting role in Runaway Train. His television work includes a recurring role on the NBC drama Heroes. His sisters, Julia and Lisa Roberts, along with daughter Emma Roberts, are all actresses. |
