New Port Maria Market, St Mary, Jamaica

New Port Maria Market located in St Mary, Jamaica (Caribbean).
The town of Port Maria in St Mary will have a modern two-storey market.
The New Port Maria Market on Hodgson Street, said to be the first of its kind in the island, will accommodate vendors on the ground floor, while the first floor will have shop spaces for rent.
The New Market is to replace the old market that had fallen into disrepair.
The renovation not only reshape the physical structure of the facility, but is also consistent with emerging shopping trends.
A contract valued at $56 million dollars to upgrade the facility was signed at the offices of the Ministry of Local Government and Community Development in April, 2018.
The building of the new state-of-the-art market began in July 2018, following a ground-breaking ceremony in the same year.
Phase one of the major rehabilitation of the market, will be a two-storey facility which includes 55 vendor's stalls, a meat market with concrete tables and stainless countertops.
The rehabilitation is part of a $400-million islandwide project by the Government to improve markets across the country.
The market development programme will be the beginning of the end of the practice of vendors selling on the streets, creating challenges relating to order and traffic management.
