The renovation and beatification plan of Oranjestad, the main street area and surroundings have started. The first phase is now ongoing with the main entrance to the main street closed down for construction work. The renovation and beautification plan is all part of “Bo Aruba” (Your Aruba) and comprises several different phases. The main street itself will be remodelled along with the water towers in Oranjestad and San Nicolas, the old John F. Kennedy School and the court house and several other buildings. The project is estimated to be finished in year and a half and will cost an estimated 100 million florins (US$55 million).
