HE Morant Bay Urban Centre project, which is set to be completed by September, was Thursday described by Prime Minister Andrew Holness as the “economic engine” for driving development and improving livelihood for St Thomas residents.
“The parish of St Thomas is better off today than it was 10 years ago, without question,” he said during a tour of the construction site on Thursday.
Holness said the centre, which was first conceptualised in 2018, will not only boost the country’s economic development but also provide opportunities for St Thomas residents, specifically those who live close to the urban centre.
“In effect, the Government, in making the investment in developing this town, is creating a new economic engine that will power the development of St Thomas and we intend to replicate this model right across Jamaica,” he said.
