Organized by the local Chamber of Commerce and Production, the meeting focused on critical infrastructure demands, including the improvement of roads, inter-parcel paths, water services, and the expansion of community care spaces.

Key proposals presented by community leaders included the advancement of the Mirabal Law, the construction of a community center for senior citizens, the creation of a childcare center, and the completion of educational facilities.
