“… Because most of the delegates [for the 27th Heads of Government of Caricom Conference] would be coming in through the EFCIA [Eugene F Correia International Airport]… what we undertook to do was to have works done from the airport right through to the Railway Embankment and on Carifesta Avenue,” Ferguson told Stabroek News yesterday afternoon.

The coats of arms of the Caricom member states will be placed along Carifesta Avenue in time for Monday—Caricom Day—when the Heads of Government conference will begin.
