Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced that China will donate 1,800 solar-powered street lights to Antigua and Barbuda as part of efforts to modernise the country’s infrastructure.
Speaking on Point FM, Browne said the shipment is expected to arrive within the next two to three weeks and will be installed nationwide. He described the lights as a gift that will enhance public safety while contributing to the government’s wider beautification campaign.
The initiative comes alongside other infrastructure projects, including expanded road works, a national cleanup drive and large-scale tree planting, which Browne said will give Antigua and Barbuda a “new look” within 18 months.
