Tulum, Quintana Roo — Tulum is on track to complete nearly 20 significant public projects by the end of September, marking a key milestone in the town’s ongoing development. Mayor Diego Castañón Trejo stressed the importance of finishing these Tulum public projects before the new administration takes over, according to Santos Hipólito Tuz, Director of Public Works Monitoring.
Progress and Delays in Tulum’s Public Projects
Out of the 22 originally planned projects, only two have reached full completion. Unfortunately, adverse weather over the past two months caused delays, slowing the progress of several key initiatives. Nevertheless, the municipality remains committed to meeting the mayor’s deadline. As the deadline approaches, local authorities are doubling down on their efforts to ensure that the remaining projects are completed on time. This push highlights the dedication to improving Tulum’s infrastructure, which is crucial for both residents and the increasing number of tourists visiting the area.
Key Public Projects Underway in Tulum
Among the key Tulum public projects are the renovation of Cobá Avenue, the restoration of La Selva Avenue, and the first phase of Tulum’s new Command, Control, Communication, and Computing Center. These projects are progressing at different stages. For example, some are already under construction, while others will begin shortly, with finalized contracts in place.
Budget Allocation for Tulum’s Infrastructure Projects
Tulum’s public works budget for Fiscal Year 2024 includes 34 projects, totaling 220 million pesos. So far, the administration has already allocated approximately 112 million pesos to ongoing initiatives. Meanwhile, the remaining 108 million pesos will fund additional projects between October and December. This budget not only reflects the current administration’s commitment to completing essential infrastructure but also sets the stage for further development under future leadership. Investing in infrastructure is crucial for sustaining Tulum’s rapid growth, and these projects are a testament to the town’s forward-thinking approach.
