Aguadilla Business Center (ABC) InaugurationOn the morning of Friday, February 4, 2022, the Friends of Puerto Rico Aguadilla Business Center (ABC) ribbon-cutting took place on the third floor of the old ice-skating park. Angelique Sina, President of Friends of Puerto Rico (FoPR), along with the team of FoPR , welcomed the community into the new offices. The Aguadilla Business Center supports small businesses by providing personalized advice, resources on how to start and grow businesses, and mentoring services for new or existing businesses.

The winners, Alani Aldarondo, founder of Chilea, Patricia Colón, founder of Morivivi, and Manuela Silva of Manu Villanu received seed funding for their businesses, totaling $2,250. The winners also had the opportunity to present and sell their products to attendees of the event.
