Today, the Government House, the House of Culture, the Greenwood House, the Yarborough Green Recreational Field, and the Women and Family Department Building - all located in the Belize City Downtown area - were officially inaugurated.
These sites were all renovated under the Belize City House of Culture and Downtown Rejuvenation Project, which began 10 years ago. The project - funded by the Taiwan International Cooperation Development Fund, muddled along for many years in administrative limbo - but, eventually found its groove - and they tied the bow on it today.
Government Officials and the Taiwanese Ambassador locked out the media and called in the press office to hold a special ceremony today to mark the completion of these cultural assets. Here's what they had to say:
The project has also invested in the St. John's Anglican Cathedral, the Supreme Court, and the Belize Heritage Plaza, which is currently under construction.
Notably, the independent media was snubbed for the event and not invited to ask the many relevant questions or examine the work on any of these sites.
