Prime Minister Gaston Browne Highlights Transformative Development in Barbuda
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has outlined the transformative development initiatives undertaken by his administration in Barbuda, emphasizing the significant advancements achieved in recent years.
Browne highlighted key projects and improvements that have propelled Barbuda towards becoming a luxurious island destination with robust infrastructure and full employment.
“The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party administration, under my leadership, has driven the development of Barbuda,” Browne stated.
He cited the construction of the new Barbuda airport and the establishment of high-end hotels such as the Rosewood Hotel and Paradise Farm. “We have laid the foundation for a thriving tourism industry,” he added, noting the successful launch of multiple upscale projects.
One of the ABLP’s plans includes the development of concrete roads.
“We are focusing on building out at least 10 miles of concrete roads in the first phase to enhance infrastructure,” Browne explained.
Prime Minister Browne also praised the employment boom in Barbuda.
“For the first time in Barbuda’s history, there is full employment. In fact, there is a surplus of employment opportunities, leading to a reverse migration of Antiguans moving to Barbuda for work,” he highlighted.

Addressing water supply issues, Browne recalled the severe water shortages that plagued Barbuda for years.
“Residents couldn’t get water to wash themselves, and the supply was inconsistent,” he recounted. The administration has since installed multiple water plants, significantly improving water availability and quality.
Barbuda now boasts a renewable energy plant that powers the island for about 15 hours a day.
“Barbuda is now leading in green energy, surpassing even Antigua in renewable energy use,” Browne noted. The government is in talks with investors to increase green energy capacity, aiming for Barbuda to be fully powered by renewables within the next 24 months.
Prime Minister Browne concluded by defending his administration against criticisms.
“No other administration in the history of this country has done more for the people of Barbuda than the Gaston Browne administration.
Despite the challenges, we remain committed to transforming Barbuda into a beacon of sustainable development and prosperity,” he affirmed.
