The Ministry of Public Housing, Spatial Development, Environment and Infrastructure (MinVROMI) has organized a Town Hall meeting covering Middle Region and Dutch Quarter to be held on Thursday evening.
Residents, stakeholders and interested persons are invited to attend the town hall meeting which will take place at the Belvedere Community Center, on Low Estate Road Belvedere from 7.00pm to 9.30pm. The meeting is part of the process of drafting "development plans" for country Sint Maarten.
The development plan will comprise of a legal framework for possible future development that would take place in the district; to designate and/or reserve land for desired use; to prevent undesired development; and to offer legal security to residents about future development in their district.
This is the first meeting for this area which will allow residents, stakeholders and interested persons of the aforementioned districts to provide their views and ideas with respect to the future development of their districts. The views presented by the public will then be included into the design development plan and re-presented to the community in a follow-up town hall meeting.
The process to develop the development plans are funded by the Dutch agency USONA to the tune of Naf.2 million.
