Work Space Infrastructure
The establishment of workspace for the provision of jobs has become
one of the elements of incentive to attract investors operating in a
knife-edge competitive environment.
Government will seek to promote the availability of workspace,
including factory shells and office buildings. Private sector partners
will also be encouraged to invest in developing these facilities.
Government will consider positively a joint approach to such ventures.
The object will be to encourage the location of such facilities in areas
of relevant an advantageous infrastructure, and where there is a
catchment of trained and trainable human resource. Advantage will be
taken of the existence of available unused structures that lend
themselves to easy conversion.
Government will consider the provision of such workspace that would
allow for economies in the use of shared facilities, infrastructure, and
transmission equipment
The Grenada Industrial Development Corporation already has active plans for
the provision of 20-30,000 square metres of workspace in a location near to
the Point Salines international Airport
Modernizing Government
Key principles

globalization
requires
an
adaptive
government, fast on its feet to identify and exploit new opportunities. It
also requires increased efficiencies in the provision of public services, to
yield new revenue streams within government, and thereby create space
for investment in changing priorities.
Within the current structure of
government, a number of initiatives might be considered that embody
the best of the ‘new public sector management’ techniques noticeable
