Model City Initiative in Milot

The Haiti Support Project (HSP) launched the Model City Initiative to focus its limited human and material resources over a five year period on Milot, a city of approximately 40,000 people in the north of Haiti near the Sans Souci Palace and the Citadel. The Model City Initiative is an idea, a vision intended to encourage/inspire friends of Haiti to find ways and means of partnering with the people of Milot to advance the process of social and economic development. Working collaboratively with the Local Development Committee of Milot, city officials, private and public sector stakeholders and the Destination Haiti Foundation, the goal is to use the assets of the Citadel and the Sans Souci Palace to transform this lovely city into a Mecca for cultural-historical tourism as a principal vehicle to improve the quality of life of the people.
