A SPEIGHTSTOWN businessman wants to invest $400 000 to rebuild the out-of-use Speightstown jetty that has been in a state of disrepair for many years.

This project is among several others submitted to Government by a group of business owners in the island’s second city who are anxious to revive the area and breathe new life into what is being called a dying town.

Called the Speighstown Revitalisation and Saturday Fiesta Projects, businessman Hal Austin told the DAILY NATION they were hoping to get approval soon so that some of the activities could coincide with the upcoming winter tourist season.

He explained that following a series of meetings, letters were submitted to Government with over 30 signatures of proposals for the revival of the northern town.
