by

Governor Pedro Pierluisi on Monday appointed Francisco J. Rodríguez Dosal as the new Executive Director of the Highways and Transportation Authority (ACT).

A press release from La Fortaleza stated that Rodríguez Dosal has 24 years of experience in the public service and construction industry.

This is the second appointment the president is making under the leadership of the ACT, because after Pierluisi announced that former director Rossana Aguilar would continue the position under his rule, the official resigned in December.

Meanwhile, the Governor also appointed Carlos Mercado Santiago as the new head of the Tourism Company, who served as the entity’s deputy director during the administration of former Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced. Mercado Santiago was previously a director of the Puerto Rico Trade and Export Company.

Pierluisi also appointed Mariela Vallines Fernández as Executive Director of the Convention Center District Authority and Natalia I. Zequeira Díaz as Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions.

Similarly, Pierluisi appointed Orlando Rivera Carrión as director of the gaming division and Rafael Freytes Cutreras as director of the Special Investigations Bureau (NIE). In the meantime, Nilda Marchan has been nominated as executive director of the Roosevelt Roads Redevelopment Authority.

The general manager also confirmed the appointment of former New Progressive Party (PNP) senator and former mayor of Salinas, Carlos Rodríguez Mateo, as director of the Administration of Mental Health and Anti-Addiction Services (Assmca). Last week, designated health minister Carlos Mellado reported the appointment of the former legislature.
