Governor-General, Sir Patrick Allen, says the Government is using the period of the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to continue to prepare a number of major infrastructure projects for the country’s post-pandemic rebound. The Governor-General, who was delivering the Throne Speech at the ceremonial opening of Parliament on Thursday, February 18, noted that these projects include the Government Campus and Houses of Parliament, for which the planning and design phases “are progressing well”. He noted, as well, that the development of the Morant Bay Urban Centre is now in the execution phase with Cabinet having given approval for the joint venture agreement.
