Senator Gonzalez Costa discusses Project Esencia
Senator Gonzalez Costa explains that Project Esencia raises concerns about privatization of coastline, protection of natural resources, and displacement of Puerto Rican communities. He argues development cannot come at the expense of beaches, ecosystems, and archaeological heritage.
These are not isolated issues.
They are part of a larger struggle over Puerto Rico's land, resources, democracy, and economic future.
The development of Project Exencia has generated concerns regarding the privatization and commercialization of our coastline, the protection of our natural resources, especially water, and the displacement of Puerto Rican communities.
Development cannot come at the expense of our beaches, ecosystems, our archaeology,
archaeological heritage, or the right of our people to remain on their own land.
