The proposed stadium will be located on land attached to the Pista Atlética Doctor Roberto Monroig, which is currently used exclusively for soccer practice.
The proposed stadium was a campaign promise of the mayor, according to the chief executive of Guayama, and the central government has committed $3 million for the project.
The rest of the proposed project would be financed by a loan from the Government Development Bank of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Maria de Lourdes Santiago, in a press release criticized the allocation of $1 million for the construction of the new football stadium Guayama.
"It is absolutely outrageous and offensive that at a time when the closure of 580 schools to reduce costs is proposed, most of the Popular Party deems prudent to use the money of the workers of Puerto Rico for assignments like (these)" subtracts the statement released by Senator's office with a list of works that includes the football stadium Guayama.
