Freeport, Grand Bahama – The revitalization of Williams and Russell Towns in Grand Bahama continues on track, Minister for Works and Transport, the Hon Neko C Grant confirmed Thursday
He was speaking to the media in Freeport, Thursday "to dispel the rumors and untruths that have been circulated by some rejected politicians.”
Mr Grant, is the Member of Parliament for the Lucaya Constituency, a part of which includes the two communities.
The project started shortly after Mr Grant became the Minister of Public Works and Transport.
Seawall, sidewalks, and paved parking have already been constructed and persons can now easily walk from one community to the other.
Restrooms are to be built, the entire area landscaped, and twenty-one pastel-colored 12-by-16-feet booths provided for local vendors.
Mr Grant said the residents have responded favorably to the project.
“I have been honored to have represented the people of Williams and RussellTowns for the past 17 years,” he said. “That speaks volumes ff their trust is me. Four consecutive terms.
“I promised them in 2007 that if re-elected I would seek to revitalize Williams and Russell Towns, and as you can see we are well underway to doing that.”
Roads in the area will be paved, he said. “One of the reasons why we have not paved to date is that we would wish to have a first class operation out here.”
