San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris has welcomed the Government’s plan to construct a waterfront hotel, conference centre, and oceanfront residences in San Fernando.
Speaking to reporters yesterday, Parris said he supports any initiative to revitalise the city. The San Fernando City Corporation (SFCC) has identified tourism, culture, arts, sports, and education as key sectors for development. He described the plan as the beginning of the city’s diversification strategy and noted strong interest from the business sector.
As part of the Revitalisation Blueprint launched by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar at the Diplomatic Centre last Thursday, the Government proposes to transform San Fernando’s waterfront. The plan envisions a vibrant coastal city through projects such as Plaza San Carlos, a new waterfront hotel and convention centre, Health City South, and modern residential and transport hubs.
