Premier hails revamping of West End Community Centre

Work on the hurricane damaged West End Community Centre is moving apace and Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie has said the West End community will soon enjoy the benefits of the modernised and resource-equipped facility.

The community centre was damaged by the hurricanes of 2017.

“Good news! Finally, the West End Community will soon have a modern centre equipped with resources that will be used as an emergency shelter,” The Premier stated on a Facebook post on Sunday, October 18, 2020.

“As Premier, Minister of Finance, and First District Representative, I am pleased that works have commenced on this project. The centre is a valuable resource to members of the community. Additionally, it serves as an emergency shelter for persons in the area and will be of great benefit for 2021 hurricane season and beyond.”


The revamping of the West End Community Centre is being done by the Government of the Virgin Islands in collaboration with the EU and PAHO.
