Mr. Rod Martin and his wife Sherri Martin had lunch with leaders of the Protestant Churches [November 14, 2013, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras] in which they could discuss the advantages Areas Employment and Economic Development (ZEDE) might mean for Honduras, to reach fruition. Many doubts were clarified about procedures for attracting investment to these sites and support that Mr. Martin can do with other U.S. investors interested in the project.
Meanwhile, the religious leaders were very interested in the subject and concluded that projects of this magnitude are necessary for mass employment generation and thus the output of underdevelopment that afflicts both this country.
