 Coming to you from our GIS studios, I am Janelle Norville and this is your Midday News Brief. The St. Dusha Air and Seaport Authority, SLASPA, is preparing to undertake the first phase of the Hironora International Airport Redevelopment Project due to begin in the coming weeks. The $175 million U.S. project will deliver a modern facility in compliance with international aviation regulations, passenger-friendly and open a world of business opportunity to the island. The project will significantly improve airside and airfield operations to include a new traffic control tower, elevating over 100 feet, five new parking aprons with connecting air bridges to her 337,000 square feet terminal building and new road infrastructure and traffic management system. St. Dusha recently hosted the Caribbean's first round of expanded constituency workshops for the seventh funding cycle of the Global Environment Facility, Jeff. The Jeff has proven a valuable development partner for countries providing over $18.1 billion in grants and an additional $94.2 billion in co-financing for more than 4,500 projects in 170 countries. Jeff convenes his expanded constituency workshop to keep national focal points, convention focal points, civil society organizations and other stakeholders up-to-date on Jeff's strategies, policies and procedures and to encourage coordination. Now in its seventh replenishing cycle, Jeff will allocate $4.1 billion U.S. towards conservation activity globally of which $52 million will be programmed for June 2019 and $206 million will be allocated to the Caribbean for the next four years. Over 120 representatives from 16 countries across the region participated in the expanded constituency workshop. That's all for the midday news brief. Thanks for tuning in.
