ABOUT US
We are the Amapas Neighborhood Association (ANA): residents and business-owners – both Mexicans and ex-pats – working together to improve our quality of life through improvements in Security, Streets and Infrastructure, and Responsible Development.
We are the official ‘voice’ of Amapas at City Hall, and work with the City when we can, but try to do for the neighborhood what the City often does not. We do this through public-private partnerships, by working with other organizations, and by ‘bootstrapping’ with our own initiative and resources.
The ANA consists of Administrator Viviana Testón, and is run by a Board of Directors. All are VOLUNTEERS who contribute our time, talents, energy – and, yes, dinero – to the goal of making things better in Amapas. The more active members we have, the louder our collective voice, and the more we can get done for the neighborhood.

Tribuna de la Bahía 10/29/20, 1:30 PM The lawyer
Rodríguez gave as an example District 9, which
includes the Conchas Chinas, Amapas, El Nogalito
and South Hotel Zone Fractions. # “These plans that
are in consultation, specifically District 9, from my
point of view technically and legally are an
aberration … a proposal that is actually a simulation,
because I cannot call it something else,” he
stressed. “Simply and simply violates every concept
of orderly sustainable planning, definitely that
proposal that is there, categorically is a simulation
that weighs the investment of capital swallows only”.

THE IDENTITY OF THE TYPICAL VALLARTENSE
PEOPLE He explained that in this area they have
H1 of land use with respect for the environment; with
15 housing units per hectare, which regularly shows
two or three levels of height, and in the project
presented in this public consultation they
contemplate 222 units. Now, he said, they also
intend to include H2, H3 and H4, which is equivalent
to putting a multifamily like La Aurora in the Conchas
Chinas subdivision; What, from the environmental
and technical point of view, it considered, that
density is not viable, so it announced that it will be
making the legal observations. THE MOST NEW
