Porto Velho municipal development under Moraes

In July 2026 the city of Porto Velho, led by Mayor Léo Moraes, expanded its municipal improvement program. The first announcement detailed a surge in road‑maintenance work, with more than 5,700 potholes repaired between January and early July, and a major renovation of the local skate park that added a pedestrian bridge, better lighting, and accessibility upgrades.

A few weeks later the administration unveiled a separate initiative aimed at municipal staff, approving salary increases, bonuses and career‑advancement measures for over 8,500 city employees across education, health, sanitation, transportation and administration. Both actions were presented as part of an ongoing effort to modernise public services, improve urban infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for residents.

Together the snapshots illustrate a broader municipal strategy that combines physical infrastructure upgrades with investments in public‑sector human resources, reflecting the mayor’s focus on safety, comfort and service quality in Porto Velho.
