Government advancing Lionel Densham Aerodrome Project in St Elizabeth

The Government, through the Airports Authority of Jamaica (AAJ), is advancing the proposed Lionel Densham Aerodrome project in St Elizabeth by completing the technical studies and securing the requisite approvals needed for the development to proceed.

Minister of Energy, Transport and Telecommunications, Daryl Vaz, made the disclosure during Wednesday’s post-Cabinet press briefing at Jamaica House.

Following its review of the draft proposal submitted by the AAJ, the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ), and the Public Investment Appraisal Branch (PIAB) requested additional information, along with five technical studies: geotechnical investigations, a socioeconomic impact assessment, a rapid environmental impact assessment, a rapid climate assessment, and preliminary engineering and drainage designs.
