Paynesville, Liberia: February 3, 2024 - The City Government of Paynesville has launched a five-year (2025-2029) ambitious municipal development plan aimed at transforming the nation’s biggest (landmass) and most populous city. The plan, unveiled on Thursday, January 30, is Paynesville’s first-ever strategic plan, and it is the first major step towards making Paynesville a structured and vibrant city. The plan, presented to a proxy of Vice President Jeremiah Koung by Mayor Robert Bestman, incorporates urban development, governance, and economic activities–all geared towards making Paynesville the torchbearer of municipal governance in the country. Mayor Bestman noted that a lot of hard work and innovation was put in the well-defined plan to manage the city’s rapid growth. “We can't run a city in the modern day without a plan. The reason our city is what it is today is because it has been growing without proper planning. One of the keyways to manage a city effectively is to ensure it is organized and to be organized, there must be a plan,” he emphasized. Mayor Bestman further noted that the strategic plan will serve as a blueprint to attract investors, create job opportunities, and enhance the city’s infrastructure.
