The George Town Revitalisation Initiative (GTRI), led by the Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing, and Infrastructure (PLAHI), is moving ahead with remarkable momentum as it completes the second phase of exciting improvements. In a key milestone, the installation of new street lighting has been completed, along with above and underground improvements and mature tree planting. The new street lighting will significantly improve the overall ambience of George Town, making it a more vibrant hub after dark and a welcoming place for both residents and visitors.

Through key milestones, the GTRI focuses on creating an environment that fosters growth, encourages community engagement, and enhances the overall experience for the George Town area. With the end of construction now within sight, the public can look forward to seeing improvements that will have a lasting, positive impact. From smoother traffic flows and safer pedestrian corridors to modernised facilities and improved public spaces, the results of these upgrades are already visible.

As the Initiative progresses, one of the most anticipated upgrades is the transformation of the intersection at the Central Post Office, where Edward Street, Cardinal Avenue, and Main Street connect. The Ministry of PLAHI is proud to also announce that key stakeholders, Caribbean Utility Company (CUC) and Robson Construction, are working alongside the GTRI to complete all underground infrastructure and street enhancements, bringing us closer to a modernised George Town that the people of the Cayman Islands will benefit from. We are also seeing building improvements and various renovation projects take flight throughout the area, inspired by the visions of the Central Business District Enhancement Project (CBDEP).
