Residents currently living in the Perry Bay and Keeling Point area may be offered a formal pathway into government housing as authorities advance plans for a large-scale redevelopment project along the western edge of St. John's.
According to Antigua Observer, the proposed development would introduce new homes, a marina, and commercial lots near the Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre. The project represents a significant reshaping of that stretch of the capital's waterfront.
The Director General of Communications has been linked to communications surrounding the plan, which signals that the government is moving forward with both the development framework and the question of how to address the existing community of squatters in the affected area.
The potential inclusion of Perry Bay and Keeling Point residents in a government housing programme would mark a notable policy consideration, balancing the ambitions of the redevelopment against the needs of those currently occupying the land.
Further details on the timeline, eligibility criteria, and the scope of the housing provisions have not yet been made public, as reported by Antigua Observer.
