The successful transformation of East PoS will be measured by the extent to which the policies and proposals articulated in this plan are successfully implemented.
The Plan therefore seeks to ensure that policies:
Reflect the goals and aspirations of the people of East Port of Spain and other stakeholders and have their support
Are realistic
Are achievable within the context of the existing legal, political, financial, social and institutional / administrative frameworks
A Complex Process
The primary pre-requisite for successful implementation is approval of the Plan as the strategic development plan for East PoS by Cabinet and Parliament, and the establishment of the East Port of Spain Development Company as the Planning (and Development) Authority for East PoS.
Transformation and regeneration of East PoS is a complex development process comprising a series of strategic actions on a phased basis over a ten (10) to twenty (20) year period. Economic, social and physical regeneration are inextricably linked.
