Master Plan for Revitalizing the Punda Area

Efforts are being combined to revitalize the downtown area of Punda. Government and private partners are aiming to revitalize Punda again as the place to go for living, shopping and visiting. A master plan for the development of Punda is in the works, with a focus of boosting the economy of Curaçao. At the same time, the cultural heritage designation of Willemstad should be well protected and become an integral part of the development of the downtown area, both to suit the tourists, and also the local population. A lot has to be done to achieve those goals, starting with the improvement of the infrastructure in the entire area, such as cleaning Punda and the water inlet of Waaigat, landscaping several areas, and creating enough adequate parking facilities.
