Gov't spent under $100K not $1M on palm trees– Premier clarifies
He said, the cost of the palm trees was “way under a $100,000, it was $97,000 and change for all the palm trees, and I just put that in there as a disclaimer… and not the million that people on the street are saying because it seems like its campaign time, a little earlier than normal.”
He added: “We spent $26,000 with contractors putting them in, so that is the exact figure, but when you look and see how they have uplifted the town.”
The trees were planted along Waterfront Drive, Administration Drive and the Market Square.
The Premier's remarks were made during the official Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Road Town Market Square on Monday, October 12, 2020.
A more 'pleasant' capital city
The planting of the palm trees has transformed the landscape of the capital city aesthetically in a significant way.
Premier Fahie said he is proud that the capital is becoming more pleasant.
“Today is a sweet moment that we are thinking of our town the way some people were not thinking of it.
“That we want the town to be more aesthetically pleasing not only to tourists but to us, So that we can carry up the value of the property when they are appraised, and the value of the town and the value of us in terms of our value because a town reflect what people think of themselves and the value of themselves, not only where you live!”
Within a nine-month timeframe, the 'modernised' Market Square is expected to be completed and further uplift the town in the Fleming Street area.

At any rate situation needs to be corrected.
And we should make sure that all aspects of city life, is better aestheticized:
Sewerage, parking, repainting of buildings, landscaping around buildings,street lighting, beautification of sidewalks,drainage around buildings, etc., etc...
