PLH Group Sets Its Sights on Barbuda Road Development Following Airport Success
Barbuda is poised for another wave of critical infrastructure development following the successful completion of the island’s new state-of-the-art airport.
During the airport’s opening ceremony, PLH Group project President Justin Wiltshire expressed the company’s commitment to advancing Barbuda’s road network in partnership with the government.
Wilshire announced that the focus for October 2024 will shift to developing concrete roads across the island, an initiative that has long been anticipated by local residents.
“Barbuda deserves the ability to have a vital link around this island, and we are committed to working with the government to make this happen,” Wilshire stated.
He said that the PLH Group will extend an olive branch to the Barbuda Council to ensure collaboration on this ambitious project, expected to begin in 2025.
The project aims to significantly improve transportation for Barbuda’s residents, providing better access to essential services and fostering further development on the island.
Wilshire underscored the importance of these roadways in creating a seamless connection between Barbuda’s communities and the newly opened airport, which will serve as a vital economic gateway.
The road development follows years of discussions between the central government and local authorities, with PLH now positioned to lead the effort.
“With the airport now open, our next challenge begins at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow with the Prime Minister and cabinet, as we discuss how to bring these much-needed roads to Barbuda,” Wilshire added.
The announcement has sparked optimism among Barbudans, who have long called for improvements in the island’s infrastructure.
As Barbuda continues to grow, the planned road network will be essential in driving both tourism and local commerce, building on the success of the airport project and paving the way for more long-term development.

If he is what his critics says he is he and his administration would have never spearheaded this major project of an international airport. It is time to proceed with the development of our sister island. Barbuda is well on its way to becoming a significant contributor. Congratulations on your new state of the art Airport. I am looking forward to visiting. Let’s keep this momentum.
