The plan calls for the construction of 400 blocks with curbs and gutters, the paving of another 600 with asphalt, and the improvement of 1,000 dirt streets. The National Technological University (UTN) provides technical assistance and audits the works, while general supervision falls to the municipalitys Secretariat of Planning, Public Works, and Services.
