Mister Speaker, it has been some time since my last update on the Housing Recovery Assistance Programme. 

The public is advised that road demolition works at the Hope Hill Project site continues and the road will be closed to ongoing traffic on Friday, December 4 from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

The Marine Base of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force is expected to be transformed to a 24/7 operation that is bigger, better and able to weather any storm on the completion of the $2,010,000 million-dollar project.

The Government of the Virgin Islands is moving forward with its recovery programme with the signing of Deeds of Contribution to enhance two law enforcement buildings in the Territory—the Magistrate’s Court and Road Town Police Station.

I am happy to be here once again, moving forward with the recovery of our public infrastructure, since the damages caused by the Hurricanes of 2017.

Officials from the Recovery and Development Agency (RDA) met with residents of Hope Hill Community last evening as the agency prepares to execute road rehabilitation and slope stabilisation in the area.

Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie said that Virgin Islands contractors have the potential to compete on global markets.

It is a good feeling to be standing here this morning for the signing of these contracts.

The RDA now invites tenders from eligible and qualified Tenderers for the repair works to the Attorney General’s Residence located at Road Town, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.
