Roughly $300K to repair the East End Community Centre
Roughly $300,000 is being spent to repair the East End/Long Look Community Centre on Tortola.
This cost was approved as part of the decisions made during Cabinet’s February 3 meeting.
Cabinet decided to award the $299,853.37 contract to Zane Potter on the recommendation of government’s Central Tenders Board.
The Ministry of Health & Social Development is now to instruct the Attorney General’s Chambers to draft the contract.
The community centre was one of several properties damaged during the September 2017 hurricanes — Irma and Maria.
Among other things, the building sustained damage to its roof and windows during the category-five disasters.
