Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has announced that the groundbreaking ceremony for the much-talked-about Marina for\u00a0 Portsmouth will take place on May 25, this year. He made the announcement during Parliament on Monday.<\/p>\n

The vision for a marina has always been in the plans for the development of Portsmouth and the Cabrits.<\/p>\n

Portsmouth is considered to have the best geographical and natural amenities for a marina.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother major project, we will have a groundbreaking ceremony by the Grace of God on [Saturday] May 25, for the groundbreaking ceremony for the Marina in Portsmouth,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Skerrit also mentioned plans for a Marina in the Roseau South Constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started discussing that already,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he said there will also be the construction of a cruise village and a new cargo port that will be placed at the Canefield Industrial Site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we get these things, the marina, the international airport, geothermal coming in, the cruise ship village, the new cargo port with the modern technology that you require, and all of these hotels that we are building finally opened, all we need is for us to work together,\u201d Skerrit said.<\/p>\n

He encouraged everyone to work together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not always agree, but let us work together,\u201d he encouraged. \u201cLet us be positive, let us be constructive, let\u2019s not seek to undermine this country’s efforts, because at the end of the day, as you recognize, when a storm comes everyone is affected.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has announced that the groundbreaking ceremony for the much-talked-about Marina for\u00a0 Portsmouth will take place on May 25, this year.
