New housing developments under the government's CHAPA land exchange programme will include designated areas for parks, green spaces, and small vending zones, according to Antigua News Room, as authorities move to embed community amenities into residential planning.
Officials confirmed that between 10% and 15% of land developed through the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHAPA) initiative will be set aside for public amenities as part of a broader effort to support community development.
The allocation signals a shift toward more holistic residential planning under the programme, ensuring that new housing communities are supported by recreational and economic infrastructure from the outset.
As reported by Antigua News Room, the inclusion of vending areas is intended to provide small business opportunities within new developments, while the green spaces and parks are aimed at enhancing the quality of life for future residents.
