Villa La Mata Celebrates Long-Awaited Road Improvements in El Pozo Villa La Mata, Dominican Republic – A decades-long wait for improved roads and paths in the El Pozo community has finally come to an end. The local government, under Mayor Eliseo Peña, recently completed a project to rehabilitate the area's infrastructure. This project is a significant victory for the residents, who have voiced their concerns for years. "This is a great satisfaction for me as mayor," said Peña in an interview featured in a recent CDN Canal 37 news report.
