The president of the Collectivity would have liked to present yesterday morning to the elected officials meeting in the territorial council a "combat budget, a development budget". But given the circumstances, he presented a "reconstruction budget".
“I do not forget the projects on which we were engaged during the electoral campaign. I hear the concerns of some, the weariness of others. Some think that major projects have fallen into oblivion, that the Grand Marigot project will never happen ... But Irma has turned the calendar of our actions upside down, "commented the majority leader, while adding that his" determination "to pursuing one's ambitions remains intact.
"With 182 million euros in operation and 88 million euros, it is a budget of responsibility that we submit to you", underlines the president who devotes half to reconstruction. The priority is to rehabilitate the destroyed schools and sports facilities in each of the districts. It is thus respectively 9,5 million and 3,4 million euros arrowed knowing that 3 million euros have already been released since October. "The construction of the new college will be included in the 2019 budget," said Daniel Gibbs. Like that of a sports palace.
The primitive budget also provides for more than 22 million euros for the reconstruction of community facilities and infrastructure: restoration of public lighting (2,5 million), rehabilitation of local roads (7,5 million), rehabilitation video protection (2 million), repair of churches and cemeteries (2,5 million), burial of networks, rehabilitation of COM buildings (2,5 million), fire station (500 euros).
