Here is a picture of the Complexe Administratif et socioculturel Nord in Vaudreuil.

It was inaugurated in May 2013 by Haitian President Michel Martelly. This complex was built as part of the decentralization effort of the Haitian government since the 2010 earthquake. This complex will be the central place for government functions in the North Department. All the Department Directors of the region will be located side by side in the building. Hopefully, this complex will solve the problem that many people have been complaining about for quite a long time. This administrative place is to serve as a central location designed to serve the population in search of state services in provincial towns.
