DCA to Undertake Nationwide Assessment of Derelict and Dilapidated Structures

The Development Control Authority (DCA) of Antigua and Barbuda has announced a comprehensive nationwide assessment of derelict and dilapidated structures. This initiative, which begins immediately, aims to identify unsafe, abandoned, or severely damaged buildings across the country. The DCA’s primary goal is to determine whether these structures should be demolished, rehabilitated, or restored, as part of its ongoing efforts to promote safe, orderly, and aesthetically pleasing development. The assessment underscores the government’s commitment to creating a cleaner, safer, and more visually appealing environment for residents and visitors alike. This move is seen as a significant step in addressing urban decay and enhancing the overall quality of life in Antigua and Barbuda. The public is encouraged to support this initiative, which aligns with broader national development objectives.
