During his most recent press conference, Skerrit expressed his excitement about the upcoming projects, stating, \u201cI wish to signal our intention to commence shortly, a number of major initiatives including the Roseau Enhancement Project for which funding has been secured from the Saudi Development Fund.\u201d This project was approved in Parliament late last year and according to the prime minister, the project plans are receiving their final touches and are expected to tender in the coming week.<\/p>\n
