Charlestown Redevelopment Plan
Premier of Nevis and Minister of Tourism, Joseph Parry, is sure that the Charlestown Redevelopment Plan will benefit Nevis!
Caribbean Net News reported that The Charlestown Waterfront and construction workers on Nevis stand to benefit from the proposed redevelopment of Nevis’s Bay Front.
Here is what it plans to look like!
Parry recently met with New York based developers Namdar Brothers Realty, also the developer for Port Zante in St Kitts. He gave him the assurance that the Charlestown Redevelopment Plan would provide more employment for Nevis at the construction and conclusion stages. This is always a good thing!
The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) has placed much emphasis on this endeavor!
Here is what Parry had to say:
“We have planned as a government to try to ease the impact of the recession in the States by doing things on the ground and so far we have been successful…
We have provided employment for quite a lot of people and we want to continue to do so through these activities so we want to avoid any unnecessary delays we want to move as fast as you can.
As in most huge projects usch as this, there are stages involved.
“Iraj Nambar explained that Phase 1 was projected to be completed in 12-15 months once ground was broken.”
He said:
We are going to start with the Customs Building [warehouse]… The idea would be to develop a brand new structure…You will have a brand new development in the centre of town as well as the waterfront. Phase one will include the strip of street which is called Market Street for the design purposes to be cobbled stone.
It will be a pedestrianised street where there will be tables and chairs and landscaping and it will not affect traffic. We believe this will bring people to the area to walk around and enjoy it.
This area is also intended to include cafes, coffee shops and ice cream stores. The future is looking bright and new for Charlestown Nevis! I can’t wait to see how the project unfolds!
A proud Premier of Nevis and Minister of Tourism, Joseph Parry
