BRIDGETOWN IS SET to get a major facelift with improvement in lighting, sanitation and refurbishment of some of its iconic landmarks.
Chairman of the Tourism Development Corporation (TDC), Martin Ince, told the SUNDAY SUN work on the repainting and repair of Broad Street’s blue cast iron lights was already in progress, while plans were in train to repair damaged garbage bins and to replace the palms which, like the street lights, were originally placed to enhance the streetscape.
The TDC city upgrade, being done in conjunction with the Barbados Chamber of Commerce, is included in the $640 000 package which the TDC plans to invest in tourism-related projects across the island over the next six months.
President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Eddie Abed, said that organisation had also been investing in projects to revitalise Bridgetown and had contributed thousands of dollars to the lighting of several streets around the city last year. (GC)
