The Government on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) for the Greater Infrastructure Development Programme (GIDP).
The MOU was signed by Senator Pearnel Charles Jr, Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation, in Macao SAR, China.
Senator Charles Jr said the GIDP is expected to bring unprecedented infrastructure development to Jamaica and is intended to succeed the soon to be concluded Major Infrastructure Development Programme.
He said it will be a comprehensive infrastructure programme which will include not just road works but water and sewerage development, as well as, multiple bypasses for several major towns including Kingston.
