There are relics today that exist in Grenadian community and life that dates back to the revolutionary period from 1979 to 1983.
Housing Schemes
Several housing schemes were started during the revolutionary period. These include Grand Anse Housing Scheme and Corinth Housing Scheme. The Grand Anse Housing Scheme is one of the largest communities in the south of the island. This housing scheme has expanded greatly over the last three decades. The Corinth Housing Scheme has also expanded, though not at the same size as Grand Anse.
Banking sector
The National Commercial bank (today Republic Bank owned by Trinidad and Tobago) was started in October 1979. The NCB remained one of the few indigenous banks in Grenada before its sale to Republic Bank.
The Grenada Development Bank (GDB) was taken over by the PRG and later became a Statutory body under the government.
