The sum of $131.4 million was utilised within the central and northeastern
Regional Corporations of Chaguanas, Couva/Talparo/Tabaquite and Sangre Grande to
undertake infrastructural development projects. Approximately thirteen (13) pavilions
are under construction and will provide safe and sheltered accommodation for both
sporting and community activities. Of the thirteen (13), three (3) pavilions are being
constructed with maximum seating for three hundred (300) persons, while the other ten
(10) pavilions will have capacity seating for two hundred (200) persons. The seating
capacity for these pavilions was dependent on the size of the community being served.
The first floor of each pavilion when completed will include a meeting/community room

approximately thirty (30) vehicles. The estimated population expected to benefit from
the construction of these pavilions is one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000). Other
