Economist Dr Vanus James says the newly reapproved licence for the Studley Park Quarry will not make a real difference to Tobago’s economy unless the island starts producing value-added products.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar announced the approval during her official visit to Tobago on Monday. She described it as one of several “gifts” to help the Tobago House of Assembly earn its own revenue and reduce its dependence on central government.
