## Resource

A $792 million market overhaul in New Amsterdam is underway, with 42 contractors competing for bids across four lots, totaling up to $1.4 billion — part of a national $18 billion push to modernize markets. Announced by President Irfaan Ali in August 2025, the project aims to replace aging infrastructure with improved sanitation, drainage, and facilities to support vendors and shoppers. Minister Priya Manickchand emphasized markets’ vital role in local economies, while the tender process, now complete, reflects a competitive race to build the city’s next-generation marketplace.
