Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – 16 May 2025, The George Town Revitalisation Initiative
(GTRI), led by the Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing, and Infrastructure
(PLAHI), is moving ahead with remarkable momentum as it completes the second phase of exciting
improvements. In a key milestone, the installation of new street lighting has been completed, along
with above and underground improvements and mature tree planting.

The new street lighting will significantly improve the overall ambience of George Town, making it a
more vibrant hub after dark and a welcoming place for both residents and visitors. Through key
milestones, the GTRI focuses on creating an environment that fosters growth, encourages community
engagement, and enhances the overall experience for the George Town area. With the end of
construction now within sight, the public can look forward to seeing improvements that will have a
lasting, positive impact. From smoother traffic flows and safer pedestrian corridors to modernised
facilities and improved public spaces, the results of these upgrades are already visible.

As the Initiative progresses, one of the most anticipated upgrades is the transformation of the
intersection at the Central Post Office, where Edward Street, Cardinal Avenue, and Main Street
connect. The Ministry of PLAHI is proud to also announce that key stakeholders, Caribbean Utility
Company (CUC) and Robson Construction, are working alongside the GTRI to complete all
underground infrastructure and street enhancements, bringing us closer to a modernised George
Town that the people of the Cayman Islands will benefit from. We are also seeing building
improvements and various renovation projects take flight throughout the area, inspired by the visions
of the Central Business District Enhancement Project (CBDEP).

The Ministry thanks its partners for their cooperation in the execution of the George Town
Revitalisation Initiative (GTRI). Likewise, the Ministry wishes to thank the public for their
understanding in the phased implementation of the GTR Initiative.
