The initiative reflects a firm commitment to the socioeconomic, tourist and cultural development of the destination. He also pointed out the importance of the establishment of the country’s first Single Window, establishing a crucial benchmark by guaranteeing efficiency in the management of procedures in a single place, facilitating the process for both citizens and investors.

For Camilo Trigueros, this agreement represents a joint effort under the Government of President Nayib Bukele. Now there will be legal certainty of all the assets that are within the delimited area, not only will they be visible, but they will enjoy registration publicity. “As CNR, we will work closely with the Authority so that all those who approach the Single Window can request services such as: cadastral locations, certifications of cadastral denominations, remeasurements, literal and extracted certifications, property meetings, among others,” he pointed.

For his part, Manuel Joachin expressed his deep enthusiasm at the signing of this momentous agreement, highlighting its importance in the revitalization of the Historic Center. This agreement marks a milestone in the search for socioeconomic, tourist and cultural development of the region by encouraging the arrival of both national and foreign investments, which will lead to the creation of formal and decent jobs for the community.

The Historic Center encompasses an approximate perimeter of 790,615.00 m² and within it there are national assets protected by the State. Now, through this important agreement, it will have an orderly environment, duly identified and with legal security, consolidating itself as an attraction for all Salvadorans and a destination of interest for both tourism and investment.

The implementation of this Single Window marks a paradigmatic change in public managementoffering a more efficient and transparent experience that will contribute to the socioeconomic development of the Historic Center.
