After months of planning and construction work, the long-planned spectator stand project in Bolans is edging closer to being finished, according to Dwayne George, the Member of Parliament for St. Mary’s South. In a recent statement highlighting the milestone, George framed the infrastructure development as a transformative initiative that local residents have waited years to see come to fruition.
George extended formal gratitude to key stakeholders that helped turn the community project into a tangible reality, specifically naming Antigua’s Ministry of Works, Minister of Works Maria Browne, and the national government for their coordination, funding, and on-the-ground support throughout the construction process. He shared that even ahead of its official opening, the new facility has already drawn enthusiastic feedback from Bolans residents, who have expressed excitement over the new public space.
Once fully completed, the spectator stand will offer a vastly more comfortable, accessible gathering area for multiple generations of community members, including local families, young people, and long-term Bolans residents. Beyond hosting spectators for local sporting matches, the space is also designed to accommodate a wide range of other community activities, from public gatherings to local events.
For George, the near-completion of the stand is more than just a new infrastructure addition: it stands as clear proof of ongoing progress, intentional development, and sustained public investment in both Bolans village and the entire St. Mary’s South constituency, marking a key win for the local area.
