PM Gaston Browne

Prime Minister Gaston Browne says the government is preparing to hold discussions with the Harmonites Steel Orchestra as redevelopment efforts in Point and Villa continue.

Browne said more than US$1 billion has been invested in the two communities through projects including the cargo port, cruise port, Global Ports development and the Booby Alley Housing Project.

He said the government wants residents and community groups to benefit from the area’s economic growth and is exploring ways to improve the steel band’s facilities while creating new commercial opportunities.

The prime minister revealed that Point MP Darvin Telemaque has been asked to begin talks with Harmonites to identify areas of cooperation.

“We want to make sure that we take everybody with us. We uplift everybody,” Browne said.
