Here is the proposal:
Re: Proposal to Develop Jerk Centre
Negril as a major tourist area, and contributor to tourism income to Jamaica is
without a central area for visitors to consume our famous Jamaican Jerk. To
compound the issue, some property owners have shared their concerns with the
haphazard nature of the operations of persons who Jerk along the beach road.
As Member of Parliament, I submitted a request for approval for lands to be
used for the Jerk Centre and for funding for construction. The proposed area is
located immediately across from the beach park. The center will feature, designated
vending stalls, parking area, storage areas for each stall, rest room facilities, outdoor
dining area, and sections to display health certificates. The intention is also to have
persons who operate in this space to undergo TPD.co training and certification.
In the event approval is granted and funding is secure, further communication will be
made with Negril Chamber of Commerce for your support in coordination in the
development of the Jerk Centre.
Best Regards
Morland Wilson
Member of Parliament for Westmoreland Western

Let us know what you think below. The jerk chicken vendors and barrels you see along the road will be moved to a single central location by the beach park, no longer near the hotel properties along the beach road.
If you have alternative ideas, please post them as well.
Time is of the essence.
