ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA; WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2010 – Prime Minister Tillman Thomas has visited the business community on mainland Grenada, in Carriacou and on the island of Petite Martinique, to bring Christmas greetings. The Prime Minister made door to door calls on businesses in Petite Martinique on Tuesday, following which he distributed toys to about 50 children who had gathered at the Petite Martinique School. This is the Prime Minister’s third visit to the island since taking office just over two years ago. Mr. Thomas, accompanied by the Minister for Carriacou and Petite Affairs, Senator George Prime and other Ministry officials, returned to Hillsborough, Carriacou, later that morning to bring greetings to the business community there and to formally declare open 2980 feet of main road in Top Hill/Belair. “Our administration has promised to make life easier for the people of our country, and this road is a part of the fulfillment of that promise to the people of Carriacou,” the Prime Minister told the opening ceremony. The Prime Minister’s courtesy call on the business community began on Thursday with a visit to the Grenada Sugar Factory in Woodlands and Republic House in Grand Anse. “These visits are important because it allows us to share the experience of Christmas with those with whom we come into contact,” the Prime Minister said. He will continue to meet with residents and businesses around Grenada in the next two days leading up to Christmas.
