CABINET NOTES: The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has entered into a contractual agreement with the Chinese firm China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECCC) for the repaving of the North Sound racetrack, with the primary objective of significantly improving safety at the facility.

The North Sound Drag Racing Track, located east of the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, has grown in popularity over the years, attracting thousands of racing enthusiasts, families, and spectators who utilize the venue as a key recreational space.

Recognizing both its national importance and increasing usage, Cabinet has prioritized the rehabilitation of the track to ensure it meets modern safety standards.

The project will include resurfacing works and the installation of enhanced safety features designed to better protect drivers and spectators alike.

This initiative forms part of the Government’s broader commitment to creating safe, structured environments for sporting and recreational activities.

The track has long served as a controlled venue for motorsport, helping to promote responsible racing while providing a gathering space for families and car enthusiasts across Antigua and Barbuda.

By partnering with CCECCC, the Government aims to deliver a high-quality upgrade that will not only improve safety but also strengthen the overall appeal and functionality of the facility.

Cabinet underscored that continued investment in such infrastructure is essential to supporting community engagement, youth development, and the growth of motorsport in the country.

The Government remains committed to ensuring that public recreational spaces are safe, accessible, and capable of meeting the needs of all citizens.
