The Dirección de Obras Municipales (DOM) reported that, in nearly five years of operation, it has built and delivered 10 markets, shopping plazas, and food courts in different parts of El Salvador.These projects aim to strengthen local commerce, improve working conditions for vendors, and provide the public with modern infrastructure for shopping.
According to the department, the completed projects include the Mercado San Miguelito, in San Salvador; Chalchuapa y Candelaria de la Frontera markets, in Santa Ana; mercado de Tapalhuaca, en La Paz; mercado de El Triunfo, in Usulután; mercado de Concepción de Oriente, in La Unión; Plaza Mercado de Cuisnahuat and Plaza Turística de Santa Isabel Ishuatán, in Sonsonate; Plaza Gastronómica de Monte San Juan, in Cuscatlán Sur; and Mercado La Palma, en Chalatenango Norte.
The Department of Dirección de Obras Municipales (DOM) explained that each project was designed according to the needs of each municipality, although all feature modern infrastructure for the sale of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, clothing, footwear, and other products.
In addition to serving as commercial centers, the institution noted that these spaces were also conceived as meeting points for families and communities, incorporating areas dedicated to gastronomy, cultural activities, and social gatherings.
According to the agency, the markets have spacious, well-ventilated, and well-lit facilities, restrooms, potable water and drainage systems, electrical installations, fire protection, green areas, and collection centers for solid waste management, with the goal of offering safer and more comfortable conditions for both vendors and visitors.
The DOM indicated that replacing old infrastructure with these new spaces has required a multi-million dollar investment that benefits more than four million salvadorans by boosting the local economy and improving conditions for the development of commercial activities.
The institution also reported that three new markets are currently under construction in San José Guayabal (North Cuscatlán), Lourdes Colón (North La Libertad), and Nueva Concepción (Central Chalatenango).
Simultaneously, the institution is developing two new shopping centers, one in El Mozote, in North Morazán, and the other in San Fernando, in Central Chalatenango, with the aim of expanding these spaces for vendors, generating new economic opportunities, and strengthening local tourism.
