This is an update for this Beachfront Community in Corozal

Second quarter of 2010

The roads we travel over to Cerros Sands have been undergoing a major transition. With funds allocated to the sugar cane industry from the European Union all the roads utilized the sugar cane trucks and being elevated, filled, and compacted with proper drainage. Significant to Cerros Sands this includes the roadway from the Copper Bank turnoff through Copper Bank from the ferry road.

The government under another program is improving the road from Copper Bank to the Mayan Ruin.

Cerros Sands is working with the local government officials to see the other roads in our area receive proper attention. Some of this work has already been completed.

Within Cerros Sands, the main “beach road” also was re-graded.

The construction of the Palapa Bar structure is complete. Construction of a separate structure for bathrooms and storage in underway. The grills are a Mayan design. A separate “kitchen/preparation area” is being designed.

Our builder, Orion's Custom Home Builders, a division of Baker International Inc., Canada, has hired an engineer for his construction drawings. Additional plans have been added to the website.

The annual maintenance program for 2010 is continuing.
