While many have welcomed the Government’s Revitalisation Blueprint, an ambitious plan to transform T&T’s economic and infrastructural landscape, residents tucked away along King’s Wharf, San Fernando, are wondering what’s really in it for them. Many hope that Government officials will meet with the roughly 100 residents face-to-face to explain the project and hear their concerns.
As part of the Revitalisation Blueprint launched at the Diplomatic Centre last Thursday, the Government proposes to transform San Fernando’s waterfront into a coastal city. The plan includes retail spaces at Plaza San Carlos, a new waterfront hotel and convention centre, oceanfront residences, and a modern transport hub.
But when Guardian Media visited Old Train Line Road, residents of the struggling seaside community said they hadn’t even heard about the new plans to turn their coastline into a futuristic hub.
