The Canoa project is probably a promise for the voting public. But there is movement in the southwest in terms of agriculture which will bring some form of wealth to the area and hopefully, additionally agriculture investments. I rather the southwest become a hub of agriculture than over-built like some of the other regions which has pushed many locals out and into barrios. As long as the growing need for food continues unabated (see China, India) the Barahona/Perdenales area can benefit greatly. As you know very well Marilyn, the largest stretch of unspoiled beach in the country is located in the southwest. Developers in Juan Dolio, Cabarete etc already are starting to build up because they are running out of available beach front property.
