with our colonial history and modern attractions,” Mayor Wagner envisions. New infrastructure is also set to transform the heart of Downtown Belize City. The city’s Swing Bridge, now over 100 years old, has aged significantly and shows major signs of deterioration.To accommodate the increasing vehicular demand and improve safety, the Government of Belize, with the assistance of a Japanese grant, plans to construct a modern replacement bridge. A significant revitalization effort is also underway at the Fort George Hotel & Spa, a landmark establishment transformed into a modern facility. “We hope the cruise ship berthing facility remains in Belize City to support local businesses and maintain our status as the commercial capital,” Mayor Wagner adds. Belize City’s vision for growth is rooted in its commitment to sustainability, economic development, and cultural preservation. “We are a developing city with immense potential,” Mayor Wagner concludes. “Our people are our greatest asset, and we are building a city that embraces our past and tomorrow’s opportunities.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Vista Real Estate www.vistabelize.com Vista Real Estate offers clients expertise and know-how in every market in Belize.
