Like almost all of Puerto Rico, the beachfront community of Punta Santiago was devastated by Hurricane Maria last September. The town, on the island's southeastern coast, is near where Maria made landfall on September 20, 2017. With the help of the National Guard, Rosselló helped deliver a shipment of supplies to Punta Santiago a week after Maria hit. The same spot on the same street in Punta Santiago now displays a different message, one that may inspire travel : "Bienvenidos," or welcome. Gonzalez says Punta Santiago is prepared to host tourists again.
