As Antigua and Barbuda gears up for a highly anticipated general election later this month, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced a major infrastructure overhaul for the Perry Bay district designed to free up underutilized land for much-needed residential development. Browne laid out the proposal during a political rally held in the St John’s Rural West constituency on Thursday evening, outlining that the centerpiece of the project is the relocation of the area’s existing primary roadway. The move is intended to reconfigure available land to create additional space zoned for new housing construction, addressing rising demand for residential property across the twin-island nation. This infrastructure adjustment forms one pillar of a wider government strategy aimed at expanding public access to buildable land and affordable housing, a growing priority as population and economic growth push demand for new residential units higher. Browne emphasized that the road reconfiguration will not only unlock more developable space but also enable more organized, long-term community planning for the Perry Bay region. The Perry Bay housing initiative was revealed alongside a slate of other campaign development priorities, with the prime minister framing infrastructure investment and expanded land access as core planks of his administration’s governing agenda. While the plan has been formally announced, Browne did not share a concrete implementation timeline, nor did he disclose detailed architectural or layout plans for the relocated roadway during the rally address. Officials expect the completed expansion will boost the government’s ongoing work to increase overall housing stock across the country and support sustained, inclusive community growth in Perry Bay and surrounding areas. With housing and economic development emerging as central talking points on the pre-election campaign trail, the proposal signals the administration’s focus on addressing key livelihood concerns ahead of the upcoming vote.
