Residents of the Caribbean island of Nevis are being invited to participate in a series of public consultation sessions focused on two key local infrastructure and governance projects: the island-wide road naming initiative and the formalization of village and locality boundary lines. The Nevis Island Administration’s (NIA) Department of Physical Planning and Environment has organized the town hall sessions to gather public input and validate draft project proposals ahead of finalization.
The first validation meeting will take place next week on July 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. local time at the Pond Hill Community Centre in St. John’s Parish. Two additional follow-up sessions have been scheduled for residents in other parishes later this summer. On August 20, 2026, a session will be held at 6:00 p.m. at the St. Paul’s Anglican Church Hall in St Paul’s Parish, with the final session set for August 27, 2026, at the Franklin Brown Community Center in St. James Parish. These sessions are open to all members of the public who wish to review proposed names and boundaries and share feedback with project organizers.
The department has already made draft project materials available for public review ahead of the town halls. Interested residents can access the full draft Nevis Road Naming Project map and draft Village Locality Boundaries map through the official NIA website, located in the Documents section under the Physical Planning and Environment department page.
For community members seeking additional information or who have questions about the project before attending a public session, department representatives can be reached through multiple channels. The department’s office is located on the upper floor of the building that also houses the Labour Department and Water Resource Management Department on Main Street in Charlestown. Inquiries can also be made by phone at (869) 469 5521, extension 6302 or 6303, or via email at nevplan@niagovkn.com.
