St Thomas residents welcome investment in once ‘forgotten parish’


St Thomas are now singing praises to the Government for development projects they say have already started to have a positive impact on businesses and livelihoods in what was once described as “the forgotten parish”

Once plagued by deplorable road infrastructure, the parish is undergoing a makeover with roads widened and repaved. A four-lane highway — from Harbour View in Kingston to Yallahs in St Thomas — was opened in February under the Southern Coastal Highway Improvement Project (SCHIP).

Infrastructure growth spurs business concerns

While acknowledging the economic stimulation brought about by infrastructure, Ramson stressed the need to consider its broader impact.

“In particular, the towns that it’s bypassing, how are those towns being affected and how can we include them? Because the overall goal for improvement in infrastructure is economic inclusion,” he said.
