Montego Bay Mayor Richard Vernon says approximately $451 billion in public and private investments are transforming St James, placing the parish at the centre of one of western Jamaica's most significant periods of economic expansion.
Vernon made the remark on Saturday during the groundbreaking ceremony for the US$125-million Richmond Hill Club development, where he declared that the concentration of major projects reflected growing investor confidence in Montego Bay.
