THE CITY AND THE STREETS

Georgetown, March 2026

Walk down Main Street today and you will see something that did not exist five years ago: cranes.

Not one or two. Multiple. Against the Georgetown skyline — that low, wooden, Victorian skyline that survived colonial rule, independence, and decades of economic contraction — there are now steel arms reaching upward. Hotels under construction. Office buildings going up. A capital city remembering that it is supposed to grow.
