The Government is looking at establishing a full campus of the Caribbean Maritime Institute (CMI) in St. Thomas.
This was disclosed by Senator Ruel Reid, Minister of Education, at a Think Tank held at the Jamaica Information Service (JIS) head office in Kingston on Tuesday.
He said that the Government has particular interest in expanding the university into the parish to drive growth in tandem with the development of the St. Thomas leg of the south coast highway.
He informed that the institution, soon to be officially renamed Caribbean Maritime University (CMU), will have a presence in the proposed development for the Morant Bay town centre.
