Government and performing arts centres are to be constructed on a 14-acre plot of land on Bevan Avenue in Montego Bay, St James, which now houses commercial operations for the State-run National Water Commission.
Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony for the $1.2-billion Closed Harbour Beach Park Development here last week, Prime Minister Andrew Holness indicated that the parcel of land for the development has already been identified for the project.
“Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett would have toured a piece of land within the city proper. The idea there is to create a government centre/circle. Every city has to have public administration which is accessible to all its citizens. It also must reflect the dreams and aspirations and your own pride in your own Government...your pride in your country and in your own state,” Holness stated.
“It must also reflect the efficiency of the state, and therefore, we will be creating within the city of Montego Bay your own government centre where all the services of the government will be administered and easily available.”
The prime minister did not say when construction for the project will begin, but the Jamaica Observer West understands that the designs for the project are being worked on. more
