The St Kitts-Nevis government has committed to move forward several projects aimed at increasing employment and entrepreneurial opportunities in the continued transformation of the economy. ?We expect these projects will dramatically advance the process of transforming our economy from the pre-2005 sugar-based economy to a new and vibrant service-oriented economy with a vast array of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for our people,? said St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Denzil Douglas.

He said his government will move to advance the La Vallee Greens Project and the Kittitian Hill Projects as they are critical and are situated in the midst of rural communities that were significantly affected by the demise of the sugar industry.

He said his administration looks forward to the completion of the Ocean Edge Resort, the Silver Reef condominiums, the Sunrise Rise Villas, the Marriott Vacation Club and the continued and accelerated implementation of the Christophe Harbour Project Development and the Park Hyatt Project.

Douglas also expects the construction of at least three five-star hotels on the Southeast Peninsula and an increase of cruise ship passenger arrivals to over 1 million through construction of a new pier at Port Zante and the renewal of the town of Basseterre during his government?s new five-year term.
