Grenada’s capital now stands on the precipice of a multi-million dollar development project. Fuelled by one of the island’s most well-known development firms; Zublin Grenada which is now in discussions with the Grenada Government on how best to improve the social and economic conditions existing in the Town of St. George.
The Zublin team in consultation with Government and has conceptualized the St. George’s Renaissance Project. The Renaissance Project has been described as one of the most ambitious single projects ever undertaken in Grenada and one of the most unique in the region.
The project is aimed at fuelling economic growth while preserving and protecting important historic buildings, landmarks and symbols. The project is considered as ideal for establishing a public/private sector partnership and well over 450 million EC dollars will be invested. The Government and the Developer are convinced that a proactive approach is needed in order to stem the current global economic crisis. The improvement of facilities; the creation of new tourism related entertainment options; and an extremely focused marketing plan are some of the important steps needed to give an immediate boost to cruise and stay over tourists.
This capital expenditure will stimulate the economy in many sectors including but not limited to construction, tourism, agriculture, commerce and other related services. The all important construction industry will be given a huge boost by providing 350 jobs over a period of three years
The St. George’s Renaissance will include the creation of a second cruise ship jetty; the building of a ring road from the Carenage to Melville Street; improvement of the Carenage infrastructure; and the creation of a pedestrian only Sendall Tunnel. The project will also see the reclamation of land at the cruise ship terminal area to create a state of the art, conference centre and casino and the construction of a theatre for the arts. The hotel, casino and convention complex will generate substantial and sustainable revenue in the consolidated fund and will create more than 350 work places.
