@pmkamlapersadbissessar: Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar: Turning vision into reality. Yesterday, I delivered the feature address at the Hilton Garden Inn sod-turning ceremony in South Park, San Fernando - marking a decisive shift from promises to real progress. This project brings a $220 million investment into the economy, and it does so in a way that directly fuels job creation. It will employ approximately 400 people during construction and create 150 permanent jobs upon completion. It will also support training in the hospitality sector and create opportunities for farmers and small businesses to participate in its supply chain. This is exactly the kind of investment that supports my Government’s commitment to creating sustainable jobs for the population. Its location is also within a corridor of major national infrastructure. This includes the Brian Lara Tarouba Stadium, the Aquatic Centre, the Cycling Velodrome, the Couva Children’s Hospital, the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, the Point-a-Pierre Refinery, and the UWI Debe Campus. This positioning allows it to support a wide range of economic activity across sport, healthcare, industry, education, and business. This, therefore, is not simply a hotel. It is an economic asset. #Hilton #Hotel #South #TT #Change
