The municipality of Santo Domingo Norte recently marked its 25th anniversary. During the commemoration, Mayor Betty Gerónimo highlighted various administrative efforts, including the renovation of parks, improved public lighting, and the recovery of public spaces. The event also focused on cultural identity through local music and gastronomy.

Following the anniversary, the region saw significant developments regarding property rights and municipal administration. The Ministry of Housing, Habitat, and Buildings (MIVHED) distributed 422 free property titles, providing legal security to approximately 2,000 residents. 

Simultaneously, the local administration has faced scrutiny over new solid waste collection contracts. These contracts, valued at approximately RD 2,100 million over four years, have drawn criticism from those suggesting the long-term agreement could influence municipal governance beyond the Mayor’s current term ending in 2028.
