Island pets and residents have healthier options in Guam as a new pet store and the only indoor rock-climbing gym began business.

Zoomies Pet Supply opened for operations on Dec. 12 in Tamuning, the same street of Oka Pay-Less Supermarket, offering premium products for fur babies.

A lot of numbers are talked about in relation to the Pacific region and the U.S. military’s plans for the islands.

The largest of these figures relate to the funding planned to be spent on construction - $1.2 billion to $2 billion a year, with $1.2 billion forecast to be spent in fiscal 2023 and $2 billion in 2028.

There are reasons why.

Construction of the Medical Arts Center in Dededo is being completed following delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine invasion.
