Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Oneidge Walrond yesterday recommissioned the Belvedere Business Incubator Centre following an investment by the government of over $100m in its bid to develop agro-processing in Region Six.
Walrond said that the previous administration in February 2020 had commissioned the centre without having the necessary equipment and personnel in place to have it fully operationalized. She stated, “There was a purported launching which was nothing more than a farce, an attempt to fool Berbicians and the nation… There was no equipment, no furniture, no staff, and no budget. There was nothing here but an empty building.”
