Why this matters: For local Puerto Rican entrepreneurs, market plazas provide a more affordable option to start or grow a business, helping to stimulate local economic development.

The high cost of rentals and utilities in the country has led to dozens of small and medium-sized enterprises (pymes) setting up in the market plazas of their respective municipalities. This is due to the benefits they receive to start or develop their businesses.

The market plazas offer an opportunity for pymes to establish themselves in their local communities, helping to facilitate their development and growth.
