In February 2017, the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing, and Planning of Turks and Caicos issued an invitation to tender for the preparation of a 10-year National Physical Sustainable Development Plan (NPSDP) for the Turks and Caicos Islands. The generation of the National Physical Sustainability Development Plan is a 5 step process, which endeavors to set forth a framework for the development of the Archipelago.
