“It is anticipated that by the end of the year, an announcement will be made to the general public for persons to apply for a kiosk and the process that will be followed in allocating them to qualifying applicants,” Honourable Rymer added.
The press release informed that the Minister for Communications and Works, along with the Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development, Honourable Shereen D. Flax-Charles (AL) and other personnel from the Department of Trade, Investment, Promotion and Consumer Affairs are conducting meetings to develop a comprehensive application and evaluation process whereby interested persons and vendors can apply for one of the kiosks that will be available at the Market Square upon completion.

How will the vendors be sheltered from the rain?

It is a good insensitive, a good idea but the quality and standards are a waste of time
It’s Gov’t money that building these here at the market square. I’m sure you catch my drift by now!!
HAVEN'T WE LEARNT ANYTHING ? . THERE ISN'T EVEN PLACE PLACE TO SHELTER FROM RAIN , ARE WE IN THE 21 ST CENTURY / THE COACH SAID HE WAS GOING TO BUILD A STATE OF THE ART WEST END FERRY DOCK , BUT THE WHITE LADY GOT BUSTED
The VIP spent over $20 mil on fake farmers and fishermen stimulus and now spending more millions on a festival village 2.0. This is so DUMB!!! DUMB DUMB DUMMMMMMMMMMMMB! How could our so called and qualified engineers, architects etc. come up with this rubbish? We always have Ministers on a plane travelling somewhere for some useless conference. You are telling me they couldn't look at the markets that work well in the other islands and just design it similar to suit what we need here? This is prime flat land in the heart of town and next to commercial buildings housing financial services companies and government offices but look what they build around it? There will be NO parking, NO shade, NO shelter, NO SENSE AT ALL!!!!
