Works and Infrastructure Minister Jearlean John says the groundwork has already begun to prepare for this country’s revitalisation, with construction expected to start in 2026 on several billion-­dollar megaprojects.

The minister yesterday delivered a detailed presenta­tion outlining some of the 129 projects to be rolled out on a phased basis under 12 development nodes.

“This is not just pie in the sky, we didn’t just draw pretty pictures; we have world-class concepts to compete,” she said during her presentation at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s.
