The Ministry of Public Works and Transport of El Salvador (MOPT) has launched the tender for the execution of the reconstruction project of the San Miguel Municipal Market, as part of the Resilient Local Economic Development Project, financed by the World Bank.
This project, which will have a significant impact on economic recovery and the strengthening of local commerce, aims to rebuild the market that was destroyed by a fire in 2021, providing a modern and safe space for traders and the community.
Project Details
The tender is open to all eligible companies interested in participating in the construction of new commercial infrastructure in the municipality of San Miguel and surrounding municipalities.
