Expected Result:

The identification of local demands and investment opportunities for the redevelopment of La Ceiba Port to inform the Municipality of La Ceiba of a viable framework for transforming the waterfront of La Ceiba port into a commercial, industrial, residential, and recreational hub through infrastructure modernization and development.
