KINGSTON, Jamaica -- The Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment is currently in discussion with the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and the National Environmental and Planning Agency (NEPA) to utilize the Palisadoes area as Jamaica’s first Entertainment Zone.
“This will be a pilot project that, if it works well, will be replicated in other parts of the island,” State Minister, Damion Crawford said Tuesday (June 10) in his contribution to the 2014/15 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives.
Crawford said that the Palisadoes has been zoned by NEPA for Entertainment, Heritage and Conservation as well as Recreational use, which includes Fort Rocky, an area designated completely for Entertainment.
“We also plan to retrofit the UDC and Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation (KSAC) owned parking lots in downtown Kingston, using temporary fencing, to accommodate a growing number of entertainment events on the Kingston waterfront,” he said.
The junior minister argued that events, especially outside of Kingston and St Andrew, are being moved to areas which are less inhabited to avoid night noise restrictions....
