Cayo's getting a new multi-purpose building on the Galvez Stadium grounds.  Check out the pictures of the planned building.  The CNRRC will be the 2nd part of a project aimed at making Cayo more sustainable(via reducing our carbon footprint). 

"The first component includes the replacement of old and inefficient conventional street lights with 1000 Light-emitting Diode (LED) fixtures. The use of LED improves efficiency as it uses up to 50% less energy than existing fixtures, while at the same time producing 3 times the amount of light. Furthermore, LEDs have a lifetime of 10-15 years while conventional fixtures last between 3-5 years, thus reducing maintenance costs. To date, fixtures have been procured and a first phase encompassing 15 streets across San Ignacio Town has been completed. The implementation of this component continues.

The second component includes the construction of a state of the art Multi-Purpose Community Centre at the Victor Galvez Stadium. The “Cayo North Resource and Resilience Centre (CNRRC)” will be designed to be powered by a Photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy system as well as storage tanks for potable water; thus, supporting its self-sustenance. The main purpose for this investment is the provision of modern infrastructure to serve residents of San Ignacio Town and surrounding communities in times of national emergencies and extreme weather. However, the Centre is also being designed to support immediate local social and youth development needs. The facility will include the construction of a full indoor gymnasium complete with a FIBA quality Basketball Court, seating for 600, a stage, dressing rooms, bathrooms and office space. When not in use for emergencies, the facility will be used to host local and international sport events, conferences, concerts and other community events."
