Prime Minister Gaston Browne has promised to bring a major housing redevelopment project to Grays Farm, modelled on the condominium-style transformation already undertaken at Booby Alley in Point.
According to Antigua.news, Browne made the commitment Thursday evening at a campaign event in St John's Rural West, where he appeared alongside Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate Michael Joseph ahead of the April 30 general election.
Addressing residents, the Prime Minister outlined plans to reshape the area through land reclamation and infrastructure upgrades. He said Harbour Road would be relocated to the rear of newly reclaimed land, freeing up approximately 16 acres for a mix of commercial and residential development.
"We'll move that Harbour Road, put it at the back of the reclaimed land, create 16 acres of land with both commercial and residential opportunities, and we'll build nice condominium units for you," Browne told the crowd.
Browne drew direct comparisons to the Booby Alley Housing Project, which replaced informal settlements with modern housing units in Point. He described the proposed Grays Farm initiative as part of his government's broader effort to improve living conditions across communities.
"What I do for Point, I will do for you," he said, drawing applause from supporters.
The proposed development forms part of the ABLP's campaign message, which centres on housing expansion, infrastructure upgrades, and community renewal as Antigua and Barbuda prepares to go to the polls.
