“I am very pleased by what we saw today. We saw a wide array of things being done here on the island. These projects they show that the private sector has confidence and that the private sector is indeed doing things on the island…and it shows that development is continuing on Nevis and that people are willing to invest,” he said.
The tour was designed to provide a first-hand look at the work being done by the private sector and to ensure that the projects were being conducted in a sustainable manner that is beneficial to the people of Nevis.
