In addition to the near completed construction of a state-of-the art Fire Station in Freeport as part of its mission to revitalize Grand Bahama, Government’s also announced plans for a first ever Government Administrative Complex for West Grand Bahama to be constructed in Pinedale, Eight Mile Rock on the grounds of the former Friendship Shopping Centre.
Preparation work is presently underway on the site and Government is overseeing renovation projects to modernize the West End and Eight Mile Rock Clinics.
Minister for Grand Bahama Dr. Michael Darville revealed that the government is bringing long term solution to age old problems affecting the people of Grand Bahama in its effort to make Grand Bahama grand again.
He pointed out that his ministry was created by the Rt, Honourable Perry G. Christie, Prime Minister, specifically for Grand Bahama to ensure that the residents, especially those living in the outlying settlements, receive maximum benefits from government initiatives.
The signing and groundbreaking of the West Grand Bahama Junior High School, Minister Darville noted, is another example of the government’s promise to doubling its investment in education.
“As minister for Grand Bahama, I’m excited to be a part of this wonderful movement in history to celebrate in this momentous occasion with the people of West Grand Bahama and to be a part of this administration that is moving Grand Bahama forward, onward and stronger,” Minister Darville said.
