This is a paradise that God placed in Pará and, if possible, we will always collaborate to make it even more beautiful. We are delivering a space that will generate jobs and income, stimulating the tourist vocation of this municipality," said Governor Helder Barbalho, alongside the State's First Lady, Daniela Barbalho.
During the ceremony, the governor announced new works for Salinópolis, such as the delivery of the third walkway of Maçarico, the construction of the Usina da Paz, water supply and sewage works, requalification of the city entrance, and expansion of the municipal hospital.

Vice Governor Hana Ghassan also celebrated the delivery. "Each work we deliver has its importance, such as the jobs generated. I have an emotional memory and always say that one day I will live in Salinas. Today, in any municipality, we have works to show, with quality and commitment," she stated.
Modern and inclusive structure
With a length of 380 meters, the new walkway features a bike lane, sidewalks for pedestrians, kiosks, restrooms, showers, landscaping, tactile signage, access ramps, a bike rack, lighting poles, and spaces for informal commerce.
