Written byPatrice Walters
The government will shortly bring legislation to parliament to declare business and tourism development districts.
The announcement was made by Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness at the opening of the Rousseau Road Commercial Complex in Kingston today.
He said the declaration of such districts would ease security costs and other operating fees on developers.
Dr. Holness explained that these districts also facilitate an important feature of logistics-driven operations –known as clustering.
He said the new commercial complex can be incorporated into a warehouse cluster.
Meanwhile, Dr. Holness stated that the government is also developing laws to facilitate a change in land usage, so that relocation and re-development plans can be accelerated.
