Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced plans to reconfigure infrastructure in the Perry Bay area, with the goal of unlocking land for future residential development, according to Antigua News Room.
Speaking at a political rally in St John's Rural West on Thursday night, Browne outlined proposals that include relocating an existing roadway in Perry Bay to free up additional land for housing use.
The proposed road relocation forms part of a broader government strategy to expand access to land and housing, as demand for residential development continues to grow across Antigua and Barbuda.
Browne indicated that adjusting the road network in the area is intended to open up more usable space, allowing for more structured and organised residential development in Perry Bay.
The Perry Bay initiative was presented alongside other development priorities, with the Prime Minister pointing to infrastructure improvements and land access as central pillars of the government's agenda.
No specific timeline or detailed layout for the road relocation was disclosed during the address. However, the planned expansion is expected to contribute to ongoing efforts to increase housing availability and support community growth.
Browne has consistently linked housing development to broader economic policy, positioning land access and infrastructure upgrades as essential to raising living standards and creating new opportunities for Antiguans and Barbudans.
The announcement comes as the nation prepares for a general election later this month, with housing and development featuring prominently among the key issues raised on the campaign trail.
