● New town centres and community developments
are being built in places like Morant Bay (St. Thomas),
Bernard Lodge, Raintree (St. Catherine), and Boundbrook
(Portland).
● The biggest investment ever in St. Thomas. This includes
the Morant Bay Urban Centre, a new highway from
Harbour View, and upgraded water systems, transforming
the parish for good.
● More green spaces for families. We built Harmony Beach
Park in Montego Bay and are now working on Portmore
Resilience Park, with plans to create public parks in every
parish.
● Highways expanded across the island. Projects include
the Montego Bay Perimeter Road, South Coast Highway,
and North Coast Highway extension, which cut travel time
and boost business.
● Islandwide road repairs are happening. Through
programmes like SPARK and REACH, every constituency is
seeing better roads.
● Bridges are being built or replaced across the country.
More than 40 bridges are in the national plan to improve
safety and access.
● Support for renewable energy. We gave incentives for
wind and solar energy to help lower energy costs and
protect the environment.
● Improved water supply for over 350,000 people,
including new systems and pipelines in rural and urban
areas.
● 13,000 water tanks distributed to help families store
water during shortages.
● Less water waste and lower energy bills. In Kingston, we
cut water loss from 71 per cent to 37 per cent; in Portmore,
from 68 per cent to 40 per cent.
