Plenty talk, then maybe a decade or two later - action. Then scandal, investigations and allegations of corruption, then a new regime comes into power and the cycle begins all over again.

yeh i love Sando although im from north when i go back i spend most of my time there because my dads side of the family is from south well dow village. So i know the state that the wharf is in and its in dyer need of renovation- i saw an illustration of what was planned for San fernando from about a decade ago and it was really nice. I hope that is what they plan to do to it. Things take so long to get done home its unbelieveable- the Point highway has been promised for so long but again it looks to be put on the shelf again.

OK FYI I am also Bmoretrini02. Anyway I cam across this website that gave more detail about the SOUTH PARK project being done by the Amera Cooperation.
http://www.wakefieldbeasley.com/port...&project=153#2

I don't know if this means that they are moving ahead with the project now because it says work in progress and a sketch released by the Ministry of works today showed the Michael Rahael BLVD (Originally was suppose to named South Park Blvd) has been constructed which is in the plans for the South Park project.

I really hope they move ahead with this project and release tenders for proposals to develop the waterfront. The southern city needs a boost.

After 30 years of planning work is set to begin on the San Fernando waterfront project with the construction of a sea-view restaurant and the beautification of King’s Wharf. Although no money has been allocated in the 2013 budget for the project, San Fernando mayor Dr Navi Muradali said funding would come from the Ministries of Local Government and Tourism.

On Wednesday, Muradali and Tourism Minister Stephen Cadiz toured the proposed site for the project which stretched from Hatter’s panyard, Lady Hailes Avenue to the Vistabella trainline community. Muradali said yesterday an agreement was reached for work to start and it would be done by the San Fernando City Corporation.

He said soil-testing and geological surveys already have been undertaken and notices for tenders already have gone out. Muradali added: “We toured the entire waterfront area from the Hatter’s panyard to the end of the trainline in Vistabella. “Mr Cadiz shed his thoughts on some of the projects that could be done by the San Fernando City Corporation and also indicated the Ministry of Tourism would review our plans, and would assist where feasible. ”

Despite there being several designs drafted by a Cabinet-appointed committee, headed by San Fernando West MP Carolyn Seepersad-Bachan, and another from former mayor Marlene Coudray, he said those plans have been modified to bring about a comprehensive design to benefit the city.

Muradali said the first phase included the enhancement and beautification of 2,600 feet of land from the Hatter’s panyard to the King’s Wharf sawmill. He said the new structure on King’s Wharf would house a wholesale market, a retail market and a restaurant over it.

Muradali said the restaurant may be constructed of glass so that customers would get a beautiful view of the nearby ocean. However, he said, engineers would first have to test the feasibility of the plan. He added: “The whole intent of the development of the waterfront is for people to be able to use it for recreation and leisure.

“Far too many times people in San Fernando have to leave the city to find something to do and we are hoping the development of the waterfront will allow them to use this public space for recreation and leisure. “It will also be good for the local economy because there will also be food concession areas along the waterfront in this first phase. It is all part of the plan to develop San Fernando.[/QUOTE]

MovieTowne gets top billing in $450m project

An artist’s impression of the C3 Shopping and Entertainment Centre to be construction in Corinth, south Trinidad.

MovieTowne will up the ante in entertainment in San Fernando in the near future. In its 11th year of operations, MovieTowne, the Caribbean’s number one entertainment and shopping complex will be expanding and bringing its unique blend of exciting attractions to Corinth, San Fernando in South Trinidad.

This will mark MovieTowne’s fourth location in T&T.

MovieTowne South will be located on an 18-acre real estate development to be known as the C3 Shopping and Entertainment Centre that will be constructed by the J.T. Allum Group of Companies. This project will also feature the latest location of the Super Centre J.T.A. Supermarket chain and MovieTowne will be the main anchor of this development and is expected to be the star attraction.
