Res­i­dents of Sea Lots, Port-of-Spain, have mixed views about the Gov­ern­ment’s plan to trans­form part of their com­mu­ni­ty in­to a mod­ern port and gov­ern­ment hub.

On Thurs­day, at the Diplo­mat­ic Cen­tre, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar and Works and In­fra­struc­ture Min­is­ter Jear­lean John an­nounced the Trinidad and To­ba­go Re­vi­tal­i­sa­tion Blue­print, which out­lines sev­er­al ma­jor in­fra­struc­ture projects across the coun­try.

Among the projects iden­ti­fied is the re­de­vel­op­ment of the Sea Lots In­dus­tri­al Park and Free Trade Zone. But res­i­dents along Pi­o­neer Dri­ve told Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day they have no in­ten­tion of giv­ing up their homes with­out a fight, es­pe­cial­ly if they won’t be ben­e­fit­ing.
