New Jersey City to assist with school buses

Thursday August 28 2003

The City of New Jersey will be donating two school buses to Antigua & Barbuda as part of the sister/city agreement, which was signed by the Mayor of New Jersey, Glenn Cunningham and Prime Minister Lester Bird on 1 Nov. last year.

Deputy Mayor of Jersey City Carl Czaplicki, who recently got married in Antigua, said arrangements are being made with the Sidewalk University in New Jersey to deliver the buses to Antigua shortly.

"Just before we left New Jersey last Wednesday we were speaking with officials of Sidewalk University to finalise details with regards to the two buses that Jersey City is going to donate to Antigua. We decided to deliver the buses to Antigua through Sidewalk University," Czaplicki said.

"In this way Antigua will be working with an organisation in getting the buses as opposed to the office of the mayor sending it down to Antigua. So before we came to Antigua we were working out the logistics and I don"t think it will be too long of a wait before that becomes a reality," he added.

Four Antiguans who are executive officers at Sidewalk University, which is a class one non-profit organisation, were the brainchild of the sister/city agreement. They are President Professor Andy Howell, Vice-President Ken Samuel, Dr. Steveroy Jacobs and Professor Nedwell.

Czaplicki said the donation of the buses is all part of solidifying the sister/city agreement between both parties.

"The donation of the buses is a result of the sister/city agreement, in fact the visit of Mayor Cunningham to Antigua and PM Bird's visit to New Jersey City solidified the agreement," Czaplicki said.

"Jersey City has a very strong and growing, vibrant Caribbean population and people of Antigua make up a good percentage of our Caribbean population, so when we talk about sister/city it is truly a sister/city governmental relationship in many different ways," he added.

Director of Economic Opportunity for Jersey City, Sonia Schulman, who was also on a recent visit to Antigua, said both parties could benefit from the relationship.

"Jersey City is growing economically in leaps and bounds. What was once just waterfront development has now transposed itself throughout the whole city. I think we can share information with Antigua & Barbuda and become good working partners so we can move ahead together. We both have ideas and information we can give each other," Schulman said.

Czaplicki said Antigua & Barbuda could also benefit economically from its relationship with Jersey City.

"With that growth in Jersey City we see a lot of new companies and old companies expanding. A lot of those companies also have international recognition.

"There may very well come a time when economic offers and opportunities will open up to Antigua from these companies," Czaplicki noted.

"If these companies are seeking to branch out and invest in the Caribbean, because of our relationship we will be very much inclined to recommend Antigua for possible investment," he added.
