Revitalising the City of Port of Spain

Urban development is critical to the landscape of a country.

Through the Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (UDECOTT), the Government is undertaking the task of revitalising one of the most popular urban spaces in the country - the capital city of Port of Spain.

By way of public/private partnerships, plans to revitalise the city include addressing existing issues such as crime, traffic and flooding, while introducing new concepts as well as the expansion of green spaces within the city.

This redevelopment strategy allows for Port of Spain to continue to be one of the leading cities in the region, promoting economic stability, cultural preservation and national development.

The Revitalisation of Port of Spain

"The city of Port of Spain is the capital of our nation, potentially vibrant and full of economic opportunities in a bright future if we do what needs to be done to give it life and protection from decay and neglect, replacing these negatives with sensible visionary plans, investments and care."

This according to Prime Minister Dr the Hon Keith Rowley who delivered the feature address at today's Spotlight on Urban Development with an emphasis on The Revitalisation of Port of Spain.

The Government has identified The Revitalisation of the City of Port of Spain Project as one of the key projects which will stimulate integrated national growth.

During his feature address at the Spotlight on Urban Development today (Monday 16 November, 2020), Prime Minister Dr the Hon Keith Rowley said a master plan for the development of the city has been established to advance the image of Port of Spain as a 21st-century city, to improve local economic viability and to provide a quality environment for residents, local visitors and international tourists.

The Master Plan for the Revitalisation of Port of Spain will identify public and private sector investment projects that focus on promoting, residential, tourism, entertainment, recreational, commercial, educational and cultural activities.

In addition, focus will be placed on the necessary infrastructure, transportation networks and other services which are desirable to ensure success of the Revitalization of Port of Spain.

The objective of today’s Spotlight on Urban Development is to engage active dialogue with all major stakeholders, which include Government Departments, Merchants/ Business leaders, Business Chambers, Academia, NGOs and most importantly, the resident and visitor population, to solicit feedback on the Master Plan for the city of Port of Spain.

The master plan identified the following catalyst projects to be implemented via Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) for the revitalisation efforts:

(i) Memorial Plaza Development:

Development of the UDeCOTT-owned property located at Keate Street and south of Memorial Block to house a Mixed-Use Complex inclusive of residential, commercial, office, parking and recreational spaces

(ii) Development of the Salvatori Site

(iii) Piccadilly Street Development

This project is before the Cabinet for approval for UDeCOTT to proceed with an RFP and determination of the funding source

(iv) PowerGen Site Development

Development of the stated-owned, former site of the Power Generation Company located at Wrightson Road

(v) City Gate Development

A concept is to be developed for the revitalization of City Gate

(vi) Foreshore Green space

This project would include the expansion of green areas involving land reclamation at the Foreshore at Mucurapo.

The Prime Minister during his address said the city remains potentially vibrant and full of economic opportunities if we do what needs to be done to give it life and protection from decay and neglect. He said today’s exercise is a commitment to stimulate and save our capital city.

Divali 2020 Greetings from Prime Minister Dr the Hon Keith Rowley

Fellow citizens,

I am pleased, as Prime Minister, to bring greetings to the Hindu community on behalf of the Government, and the people of all other faiths, within the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, on this special occasion of Divali.

I must add also that my own family extends its warmest greetings.

Every year, Divali celebrations, with its festival of lights, signal to us all the need for a deep, internal renewal of the Spirit and a new beginning.

It calls upon all of us to pause, and in a fundamental way, regardless of our beliefs, to transcend beyond the frenzied pace of our lives, to introspect and reflect upon whatever darkness, or those lower-nature anxieties, fears, hatred, anger and ignorance that may lurk within us. In some way, we may recognise our dying moral sense, our loss of respect for life, for humanity and God-consciousness.

It can take us back to the path in which we search for deeper spiritual awareness and renewal which is fundamental to life’s journey. It can tell us, too, that the search may lead us to sense the presence of God, and the inner light, which resides within us all, and its power to radiate outwardly through our positive thoughts, deeds and actions.

The members of the Hindu community see this time as an expression of the inner certainty of their faith in which they try to reach their higher selves, which is expressed also in the form of sharing of food and sweets with their families, friends and the needy.

In an earlier period, this festival was celebrated exclusively among the Hindu community. Today, it is a proud expression of our society that this festival of lights has been embraced as a national celebration.

Across the country, people of different religious traditions and ethnicities have been lighting their homes as part of this celebration, displaying, at best, our religious tolerance for each other, and the strength and beauty that is in the diversity of our people and our country.

This year the COVID-19 global pandemic has created a fundamental difference, instilling the practice of physical distancing as the norm among us.

However, we are a creative people. Our celebrations will not disappear; our nation has had challenges before, and we will continue to confront obstacles responsibly along the way, but the inner light that we possess as a people will always allow us to overcome them.

Let us all, in this very unusual and unprecedented period, celebrate the spirit of Divali, yet observing all the health protocols that are in force, such as the wearing of masks, in limited gatherings.

Let us continue, as a nation, to treat this day of joy, unity, harmony, and festivity as sacred, obeying the Public Health regulations, in the hope that Trinidad and Tobago will eventually overcome the COVID-19 challenge.

Let us all come together to illuminate in oneness of mind and shine our inner lights collectively into the darkest recesses of our nation.

We each have a light. Let us all ensure that this personal glow of our inner light helps us to create a brighter and better Trinidad and Tobago.

HAPPY DIVALI!

11/11/2020

Prime Minister Dr the Hon Keith Rowley has condemned the Opposition Leader’s misleading claims regarding the State’s negotiations with Patriotic for the sale of the Petrotrin refinery.

Speaking at a media conference at the Diplomatic Centre today (Wednesday 11 November, 2020) Dr Rowley said Persad-Bissessar’s behaviour could derail the deal and disadvantage all the citizens who stand to benefit from the restart of the refinery.

The Prime Minister said the Government’s intention to sell the refinery was no secret.

Dr Rowley said, “Anybody who was paying attention to the business of Government in Trinidad and Tobago for the last four years will know that this is no disclosure." He added, “I as Prime Minister and other members of the Government, every step of the way, have told the public what we were doing and why we were doing it.”

The Opposition leader on Monday night put this project in jeopardy because people who Patriotic rely on to go forward in dealing and in committing itself to the Government - banker and fuel supplier - are now the target of political attack in Trinidad and Tobago.”

The Prime Minister said, “A higher level of responsibility is to be expected from a former Prime Minister, not to go on a platform and seek to undermine the process for your own personal benefit … putting at risk all the work that we have done.”

Dr Rowley said he remains hopeful that the deal with Patriotic could be finalized by the given deadline.
