One hundred and seventy vending stalls are to be constructed at the Black River Market in St Elizabeth shortly.
A contract valued at $16.76 million has already been awarded to Tank-Weld Limited for the construction, transportation and installation of the market stalls.
The contract was signed on Wednesday.
The project forms part of the Government’s major redevelopment programme for markets across the island.
It is being financed from $25 million allocated by the Tourism Enhancement Fund for the second phase of the Black River Market Rehabilitation Project.
The stalls will be reportedly designed to accommodate two or four vendors in one unit.
They will be designated for the accommodation of haberdasheries, as well as ground provisions, and fruits and vegetables.
