In a significant stride toward community development, Agriculture Minister and Parliamentary Representative for the Cottage Constituency, Roland Royer, inaugurated the $1.2 million Clifton Back Road project on Wednesday. This initiative underscores the government’s unwavering dedication to ensuring that no community, irrespective of its size, is overlooked. The project, which commenced in late 2024, encompasses the rehabilitation of 400 meters of roadway, featuring new slipper drains, retaining walls, culverts, and the replacement of the main water line. Funded by the Government of Dominica and the Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF) 10 program, the project is administered by the Caribbean Development Bank. Royer expressed profound pride and gratitude during the commissioning ceremony, acknowledging the collaborative efforts of the BNTF Country Office and the Ministry of Community Development. He emphasized that the project would provide safer access, enhanced connectivity, and an improved quality of life for residents. Additionally, Royer highlighted the contribution of the Dominica Water and Sewerage Company (DOWASCO), which invested $100,000 in new water lines, ensuring the project not only meets transportation needs but also fortifies essential infrastructure. This development marks a tangible step toward inclusive growth and community empowerment in Dominica.
