Portsmouth Business Community and other Stakeholders meet to discuss development strategies

Members of the business community and other stakeholders have been meeting in the town of Portsmouth for the second in a series of consultations, sponsored by the Portsmouth Town Council and the Caribbean local economic development program, aimed at enhancing the capacity of the council to assess the assets, issues and constraints within the town, which aid or hinder the development of the medium, small and micro business sectors.
The initiative also seeks to support sub-national ways of doing business within designated municipalities such as cities, towns, and villages, and help support agencies such as the small business unit, the national development foundation, and the community development department, to offer efficient decentralized services, as well as expansion and operations of those businesses.
Local economic development officer is Vincian George.
