Puerto Rico has 31 centers under development that will be spread across 25 municipalities, from San Juan and Ponce to Vieques, according to La Voz Digital de Puerto Rico in a report filed September 11.[^1]

The named municipalities reach every corner of the island. On the east and coast: Loíza, Canóvanas, Río Grande, Humacao, Naguabo, Las Piedras, Maunabo, Patillas and Luquillo. Down south: Santa Isabel, Ponce, Yauco, Peñuelas and Cabo Rojo. To the west: Mayagüez, San Germán, Las Marías, Añasco and Florida. Along the north: Arecibo, Manatí, Toa Baja, Trujillo Alto, Cataño and Corozal. In the mountains: Orocovis, Aguas Buenas, Barranquitas. And the island municipality of Vieques.

The read here is that a plan touching 25 towns is worth watching town by town, and the report as filed does not say what kind of centers these are, who is building them, or when they open.
