AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Disaster Response & Housing: Residents in Cooper’s Pen, Trelawny say they were told to leave after demolitions on Aug. 11, but they’re refusing to move to a temporary site in New Town, Salt Marsh until relocation grants are deposited. They say the two-week plan has no clear follow-up. Rebuild & Investment: Prime Minister Andrew Holness pitched Jamaica’s post-Hurricane Melissa rebuild to international investors in Miami, framing infrastructure, energy, technology, ports and tourism as growth opportunities. Public Safety on Roads: New York’s MTA is adding automated camera enforcement on three more Queens bus routes (Q25, Q63/66, Q66), with a 60-day warning period before fines begin. Local Business & Jobs: Jamaica’s outsourcing firm Ibex cut 1,405 Jamaican workstations and closed two delivery centres, citing client cost pressure and a shift toward offshore capacity. Sports & Discipline: Jamaican hurdler Omar McLeod faces a possible two-year ban over whereabouts-related anti-doping rule violations, with concerns also raised by a veteran athletics medical official. Tourism & Hospitality: Unico Hotels’ Unico Montego Bay is set to debut next March with a 451-room beachfront resort designed to spotlight Jamaican culture. Community & Education: United Charter High Schools named Jesus Garcia as principal for UCHS AMS IV, while Queens High School for the Sciences opened a new state-of-the-art facility.
