“The PMC calls on our community to come on board in a constructive/critical way to support the airport project. The entire Vincentian community must ready itself to expand its output and opportunities at the same time it brings it concerns and insights to bear, monitoring the project’s weaknesses, while enhancing its realisations and thus owning as citizens, this new national asset.”
