Additional lands in Crown Point need to be acquired for the construction of another roadway for the ANR Robinson International Airport. This from Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, as he spoke during the Commissioning of the over $65 million Kilgwyn/ Storebay Local Road/ Friendship connector roads, on Tuesday. More in this report.
00:00Because if we did not do it, I assure you, that airport would have been opened before its time, and this road would still not be built.
00:10Because even as we discussed the opening of this road, this road ideally should have taken those going to the airport, behind Apex, behind Mr. Rolock's building, that's the Rovenel's, to the airport.
00:30And guess what? Although they are telling you that Peor would have built the road and so on, those lands there have not been acquired by the state as yet.
00:41Mr. Augustine said improved accessibility to the A&R Robinson International Airport remains paramount.
00:49Still to be acquired, and I assure you, if they acquire them in the morning, we will go and build the road and ensure that there's an easier commute to the airport.
00:58But why is this road important? Of course, as Assistant Secretary Baines said, it allows for improved accessibility.
01:11How do we enhance access to the airport? How do we minimize traffic getting to and from the airport?
01:17Mr. Augustine said more funding is needed for the THC to complete further projects on the island.
01:24And whether people are wondering whether I sell out or not, let me be clear.
01:30If it is in the upcoming budget, we get $4.03 out of $100 on development,
01:38then they will hear my mouth the same way as Trimbegonians heard my mouth for the last three years.
01:45Because we cannot develop equally. We cannot see it side by side.
01:51And one island struggling to build roads and roundabouts,
01:55and the other one spending hundreds of millions on the road development and on expansion of their highways.
