“The residents of Layou, St Joseph will have access to this facility, it’s a multi-purpose facility. It can be used for activities, trainings, workshops and receptions,” Skerrit said.
He said the structure is expected to be sturdy with a concrete roof.
“And ensuring that whatever you do going forward as a country, that those structures can withstand the elements, the ferociousness of the winds and the hurricanes which we are exposed to from time-to-time,” the prime minister said.
Skerrit commended the efforts of Parliamentary Representative for the St Joseph constituency, Kelver Darroux who, he said, has been very instrumental in advancing this project and leading it on behalf of the government.
He also thanked the residents of Layou for their patience pointing out that the had been told about project on numerous occasions.
