‘It takes far too long’

ARGUING that, in order for Jamaica to position itself as the premier logistics hub of the Caribbean, “greater speed and alacrity is needed in the investment and redevelopment decisions that are made”, Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness has once again expressed frustration at the pace of development projects across the country.

Speaking during Tuesday’s official launch and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Rousseau Road Commercial Complex in Kingston, Holness noted that the 14-unit development, which offers more than 26,000 square feet of modern warehouse and office space, “marks an investment that speaks to the country’s ambition of becoming a major centre for logistics and trade”.

He argued, however, that in order for that to be achievable, there can be no bottlenecks in the process.
