Puerto Morelos Independence
On Oct 6th, 2007 the governmental delegation from Cancun held a large open-air meeting here
in Puerto Morelos to respond to a petition to allow Puerto Morelos to become a separate entity
from Cancun. The plan was approved and our town is now in the process of moving towards
independence. The process will take awhile as certain infrastructures have to be established.
( Police, Bomberos, Hacienda, etc) Having to rely on Cancun for all these services has been a
hassle fro years, as has having to ask for a share of the revenues to fix our roads, schools, etc.
With the change we will now keep the revenues generated here and when you consider that
Puerto Morelos encompasses the area from Bahia Petempich to the north down to Playa
Maroma at the southern end, that's a lot of hotel/resort income.
Of course now there will also be accountability. No more saying "Well, we would fix the roads
(insert choice of service), if only Cancun would send us the money, equipment, etc."
(Update 10/19/07) I received this update from Kathy Loretta regarding the above
announcement.
"Puerto Morelos will become an Alcaldia, not a Municipio, which does not separate it totally
from Cancun. PM does not have the required amount of residents to become a Municipio. The
new elected head of an alcaldia will be an
"Alcalde" or Mayor. When it is a Municipio, he/she becomes Presidente Municipal."
