City of St. John’s Consultation Set to Engage Property and Business Owners
Property and business owners in the City of St. John’s are being invited to have their voices heard at a major public consultation aimed at shaping the future development and management of the capital.
The consultation, organized by the St. John’s Development Corporation (SJDC), will take place on Wednesday, January 29, at 5:00 p.m. at the John E. St. Luce Conference Center on Sir Sydney Walling Highway. The forum is being held under the theme “Your City. Your Voice,” underscoring the government’s call for stakeholder participation in urban renewal efforts.
Several senior government officials are expected to take part in the discussions, including Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne, Minister of Social and Urban Transformation Hon. Rawdon Turner, Attorney General Hon. Steadroy Benjamin, Minister of Housing and Works Hon. Maria Browne, and Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation and Investment Hon. Charles Max Fernandez.
According to the SJDC, the consultation will focus on a range of issues affecting the capital, including city aesthetics, garbage collection and disposal, curbs and drains, road infrastructure, littering, and the demolition of derelict buildings. These matters have long been areas of concern for residents, entrepreneurs, and investors operating within St. John’s.
Organizers say the engagement is intended to foster collaboration between government and stakeholders, while gathering practical feedback to inform policies and projects aimed at improving the city’s functionality, appearance, and overall livability.
Property and business owners interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP by calling 268-785-5757.
