FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 PROPOSED BUDGET
The proposed consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $21,557,000 in Revenue from Internal Sources. Revenue from Internal Sources is generated through the sale and leasing of land. This income will be used to cover operational payroll expenses, pay for facilities and public services, transportation, and building and structure conservation.
This amount includes $11,000,000 in Revenue from Internal Sources that will be used to continue capital improvement work, such as: the continuation of the permanent improvement plan that will pay for the construction of structures to revitalize urban projects and to promote, with the Department of Housing and other governmental agencies, housing development on agencies' lands. In addition, it will be used to establish industrial, commercial or tourist projects on agency's lands. This allocation reflects a reduction of $10,000,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 due to the culmination of construction projects like the remodeling of the Paramount Theater and the Isabela's Farmers Market.
