So the building on the right of the web cam is being removed just for more event space?
Then the area will be concreted over and remain flat or any beautification for vendors, bleachers for events or just concrete to remain for more space?

It'll get little colored cement paving stones, sickly palm trees that provide no shade, a huge painted cement statue of a pez vela that will replace the fish gallows where fishermen can pose with their dead fish, and too much gaudy lighting like the rest of the Paseo del Pescador. Oh, and a new office for the Capitanía del Puerto next to the parking lot after they tear down the OTHER office built by Fonatur several years ago that was almost never used. The new office will be 2 floors with glass walls and a "roof garden". I doubt it will last through a single hurricane, unlike the old office, and it will cost a fortune to air condition. The iconic sail awnings that Fonatur put up several years ago were simply ripped down. Our local municipal administrations aren't big on providing MAINTENANCE for public areas. They let things deteriorate and then say they have to spend tens of millions of pesos "remodeling". The walkway along the entrance to Laguna Las Salinas behind the old offices is being destroyed, not maintained. Another iconic part of Zihuatanejo's character being unceremoniously obliterated.
