Representative Yeri Nieves presents bill to designate PR‑685 as “Sabor de las Atenas” route; Manatí will not submit written opinion
Summary
Proyecto de la Cámara 5-12 would name PR‑685 a gastronomic and scenic route and direct the Puerto Rico Tourism Company to prepare marketing and required regulations; the municipality of Manatí informed the committee it will not submit a written opinion and the Tourism Company was excused.
Representative Yeri Nieves (District 13) presented Proyecto de la Cámara 5-12 to the Tourism Commission, a bill to designate the state road PR‑685 that crosses Manatí as the “Sabor de las Atenas” gastronomic and panoramic route and to empower the Puerto Rico Tourism Company and other public agencies to prepare marketing, promotion and required regulation to promote the route.
Manatí’s municipal government informed the commission that it will not be submitting a written opinion on the bill. The Puerto Rico Tourism Company was excused from the hearing and told commissioners it will provide written comments on both bills under consideration; the commission said it will share those written opinions with members.
Commission members noted plans to conduct a future site inspection (vista ocular) to review the route. No formal vote on Proyecto de la Cámara 5-12 was taken during the session.
The hearing record contains no additional technical or funding details for PR‑685: local incentives, regulatory changes or specific promotion budgets were not specified during the exchange.
