Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) can­di­date for Port-of-Spain South, Kei­th Scot­land, has con­firmed a mul­ti-mil­lion-dol­lar fish­ing fa­cil­i­ty is in the works for the Pro­duc­tion Dri­ve area.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia in re­sponse to crit­i­cism over a per­ceived lack of de­vel­op­ment, Scot­land em­pha­sised that the project has al­ready gone out to ten­der and will ben­e­fit res­i­dents of Pro­duc­tion Dri­ve, Pi­o­neer Dri­ve, and Sea Lots.

“The up­grad­ed fish de­pot will bring re­al de­vel­op­ment to the area. It’s a sig­nif­i­cant step for­ward, and I was in­stru­men­tal in push­ing for this,” Scot­land said yes­ter­day.
