There are however resources that could be used to construct and build industry. Copper, nickel and oil are found on the island. The island also has large quantities of gravel, stone, sand. Despite these resources, mining for oil has been prohibitively expensive.

This agency works toward improving the island's quality life. Additionally, all information related to legal issues can be found online by the Puerto Rico government.
