Governor Jenniffer González Colón announced that kiosks will be built for merchants and artisans at the Cuartel de Ballajá in Old San Juan. The construction of the kiosks is set to begin next week, and they will provide better working conditions for the merchants, allowing them to lock up their products and offer a greater variety to visitors.
González Colón made the announcement after touring the Cuartel de Ballajá, where she met with the merchants and posed for photos. The merchants currently operate under white canopies and display their wares on tables. The cost of the project and the completion date for the kiosks have not been disclosed.
