Project narrative
On December 9, 2019, the Chinese Ambassador to Grenada and the Grenada Minister of Youth Development, Sports, Culture, and Art signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement for the renovation of the Grenada National Cricket Stadium, among other projects (see Record ID#69302). The cost of this project is estimated to be around XCD 30 million (out of the XCD 38.4 million provided by the ETCA). The renovation will focus on the general needs of the facility, including audio systems, the fire system, and the roof. This process also included bilateral training for stadium staff. In 2005, the Chinese Government provided a grant for $47.5 million to rebuild the Grenada National Cricket Stadium (as captured via Record ID#63703). The two governments signed an exchange of letters on the project on October 9, 2011. On July 11, 2023, Ambassador Wei Hongtian of China to Grenada and Brown, the Permanent Secretary of Grenada in charge of Youth, Sports and Culture, visited the Grenada-aided cricket stadium maintenance project and listened to the introduction of the project team leader of the Chinese implementation unit on the preparations for the start of construction and matters requiring assistance from the Grenada side.
