CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, Oct 13 (acn) Housing construction by own efforts and rehabilitation of housing stock in the province of Cienfuegos were favored with increased marketing of building materials.
Cienfuegos territory meets and exceeds the public sale of those items, action adopted in the 292nd guideline of the Economic and Social Policy of the Party and the Revolution.
Hugo Villar González, Business Trading Group Development and Investment deputy director, told ACN that assortments and resources for more than 84 million pesos (CUP) were expended to the end of September.
He said that this is equivalent to about 20 million CUP over the plan set in the sales for free program for the first nine months of 2014.
The most demanded products are cement, steel and wall tiles, as well as coverings and bathroom sets, Villar noted.
The biggest problems are in the supply of ceilings, main beams, known as purling, and zinc windows produced in neighboring provinces such as Villa Clara, he added.
Milady Pérez Fernández, La Estrella store manager, said they are giving priority to people with low incomes that undertake constructive actions subsidized by the state.
Osiel Fernández Navarro, self-employed worker who bought cement and electrical connections, stated that prices are still questionable, as the termination of accessories like tiles and bathroom sets.
The network of specialized shops covers eight municipalities of Cienfuegos and other 20 points distributed along districts, where people can access the purchase of materials in existence.
Ensuring improvement of housing stock and living conditions of Cubans are the main incentive of this program, enacted since 2011 by the Ministry of Domestic Trade.
