Providenciales, TCI, December 9, 2016 – Millennium Heights Homeowners continue to wait to see what will happen as Priton Development remains invisible when it comes to promised paved road completion, recreational park developed and street lights erected in phase two of their subdivision project.
The named works were among the infrastructure items Government negotiated for at the onset of development agreement; but to date the work remains incomplete. It was in June 2016 that Premier Rufus Ewing, Planning Department, Environmental Health Department and Infrastructure Minister, Amanda Missick all toured the community.
Since then, there has been little communication and although the Planning Department had issued a stop notice to Priton Development to halt construction work; residents told Magnetic Media that home building continues.
Planning had said it would not issue any more occupancy certificates. When the PNP launched its Manifesto on Monday, Premier Rufus Ewing did not have much to say when asked about the advancements on the issues in Millennium Heights.
One on one though, he told Magnetic Media that his government is prepared to do what Priton won’t.
“Well if the developer don’t do it, we’re going to have to do it, because I think there is some provision within the development agreement that says proper lighting should be there, as well as certain streets should be there, like any development. And if they don’t do it, then we’re going to have to do it, especially the community lighting part of it, because it’s important that they get proper lighting within the communities. That’s why we’re looking to get the independent energy powered solar light outside of Fortis, so that we are able to do those within those communities.”
This will be at tax-payers expense, when Priton Development, who continues to have no comment since the residents began speaking out, has already benefited substantially from sales of the over 200 houses.
