Revitalizing Waterfronts: GPH's Vision for Castries and Soufriere Ports

Parliamentary Representative Richard Frederick characterized the disturbances from a significant port redevelopment in Castries and Soufriere as short-lived inconveniences for future growth at a sod-turning ceremony. The initiative necessitated relocating local vendors and fishermen. The government, along with SLASPA and GPH, established a 30-year PPP agreement on August 2, 2023. Prime Minister Pierre clarified misconceptions about the deal, emphasizing debt relief benefits. Enhancements at the ports include updated berths and community development, showcasing a robust commitment to sustainable tourism and local partnerships. GPH aims for completion by July 2026.
