Ground breaks for modern market square in RT
The minister said, on Monday, October 12, 2020, during the ground breaking ceremony for the project, that the change will be the territory’s way of keeping up with the times.
The market square will be transformed into a modern facility with “16 kiosks shopping splendour, accompanied by a gazebo, green spaces, restrooms, a bus depot and local monumental artifacts,” he stated.
“Change is inevitable, we have to keep changing, adapting, and adjusting to be relevant to the times and to stay ahead of the times. Transformation is healthy, this is good for the territory and our people when we are constantly looking for ways to improve our capabilities, our competencies, our offerings, and how we package and present our offerings,” he remarked.
Hon Rymer said the project is his ministry’s way of making the city pedestrian-friendly, beautiful and persons who live and visit can have an enhanced experience.
“Our city should reflect a thriving economy; it must reflect who we are, a proud and progressive people. It must complement our status as one of the most beautiful places on the planet and a top tourist destination. It must create the atmosphere that drives success. So this development is a significant step in stimulating the next level of economic growth and social activities. It is my home that we will achieve support from you the Virgin Islands residents,” he pointed out.
“It introduces a bit of freshness to things and keeps things exciting. Our capital is the heart of our territory, and this is a place that has been sending out strong positive vibes, vibes that will be infectious, vibes that will lift the energy levels in all our villages and communities.”
More markets to be constructed
In the meantime, Premier and Minister of Finance Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) said other communities such as Carrot Bay and the sister island of Virgin Gorda will not be left behind.
He informed that plans for the two above mentioned projects have already started.
“We are going to continue this same kind of market…we have similar things planned for the Virgin Gorda market square,” he said.
He further mentioned that residents of Carrot Bay would be engaged on the upcoming development ‘in the near future’.
Meanwhile, the vendors who operated at the Road Town Market have been temporarily relocated close to the fire station.

In other news you’ll see how the table has turned for the host of C** D**P? Now trying to be like “ people always try to see you down; when that’s all she does. Honestly! I believe she and E*ster went there with a mission in mind. Probably was told they wasn’t welcome and decided to check it out themselves. If I don’t want to renting my vehicle that’s on me. Me care what anyone say! A person like Sin D is ban from my business. Honestly those two don’t fit in with this BVILOVE at all. Can’t believe those ladies are employees of the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board. Them need to go work agriculture in the pigs department.
The Market has been on the move over the decades. I can remember the Market being located at the Sir Olva Georges Plaza, on Chalwell Street, on Long Bush Road across from the Methodist Burial Ground near the Band Stand to now at its current location. In recent times, the Market building was unoccupied with vendors selling outside. I join others in saying the reconstruction of the Market place is long over due. The location??? Nonetheless, it is wonderful that construction is getting under way. Next up should be a ground breaking for a central library/ learning resource center.
