A Women’s Centre of Jamaica Foundation facility is to be built in St. Thomas.
The Prime Minister, the Most Honourable Andrew Holness, who made the announcement, says the centre will be designed and constructed by the Factories Corporation of Jamaica, which will also adopt the facility that is expected to have a nursery and dormitory, among other features.
The FCJ is also spearheading development of the Morant Bay Urban Centre, work on which is advanced.
“The development that is happening in the parish is booming, and they are going well,” Mr. Holness said.
He was addressing the Women’s Centre of Jamaica Foundation fundraising dinner at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston on Saturday.
Mr. Holness also announced that he and Minister of Finance and the Public Service, Dr. the Hon. Nigel Clarke, will be facilitating a donation of $10 million towards the construction of a Women’s Centre dormitory in Kingston.
