Last update: 3 hours ago

Cancer Care Update: Antigua’s long-awaited cancer treatment centre is on track to start offering services in early fall, with key radiation specialists already being integrated and specialized equipment installation underway. Cybercrime Law: Parliament has passed Electronic Crimes (Amendment) legislation that can fine telecom and other service providers up to EC$1 million for failing to comply with electronic information requests during investigations. Tourism & Development: EC$5 million from a Sandals tax settlement is earmarked to kick off the Fort James Renaissance Park project, including a marina, amphitheater, hotel and retail components. Port Milestone: Antigua Port set a new operational mark with five cargo ships discharging simultaneously, boosting berth use and supporting yacht carrier growth. Local Crime Watch: Police are investigating thefts of construction and agricultural equipment in Bolans, including a jackhammer and multiple yard tools. Women’s Safety Initiative: Team Antigua Island Girls pledged EC$350,000 toward a multipurpose safe haven for girls, with construction expected to start over the summer. Cricket Growth Plan: Cricket West Indies and the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons unveiled a US$6.6 million cricket campus at Coolidge, targeting completion by March 2027.
