The Ministry of Works in Antigua and Barbuda has announced plans to undertake three significant construction and renovation projects as part of the government’s broader initiative to modernize public infrastructure. The projects include the renovation of the All Saints Clinic, the reconstruction of the St. John’s Fire Station, and the development of the Ministry of Agriculture headquarters on Queen Elizabeth Highway. Maurice Merchant, Director General of Communications, revealed that detailed cost estimates are currently being prepared for these facilities. The St. John’s Fire Station, previously located near the Antigua Recreation Grounds, has been temporarily relocated to the Villa area adjacent to the Hell’s Gate Steel Orchestra. Merchant emphasized that these projects are in addition to the ministry’s ongoing islandwide road-building program, which continues to expand. The initiative aims to restore and enhance key community facilities, reflecting the government’s commitment to improving public infrastructure across the nation. This strategic move is expected to bolster community services, enhance safety, and support agricultural development, marking a significant step forward in the country’s infrastructural evolution.
