In addition, she highlighted that work is also progressing smoothly on the Bishop’s College Expansion and Rehabilitation Project, the Mt Pleasant Government School Rehabilitation Project and the Smart Hospital Project.
In the coming weeks, construction work will begin on the Kendace road in Petite Martinique.
Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs
This is very good news which should be the same for the whole of Grenada and it’s two other islands .
In Grenada currently we waste far too much money on quick fix instead of long term maintenance.
The government ministers who responsible for our roads should look at the long term infrastructure instead of the time their are in office.
