Yesterday, the Ministry of Economic Growth and Infrastructure Development was on site in Cooper’s Pen alongside HEART/NSTA, NHT, NIRa and the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, assisting affected families with relocation and access to support, including grants of up to $800,000 to help them get back on their feet.

Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Infrastructure Development with responsibility for Land Titling and Settlements, Hon. Robert Montague, Permanent Secretary Williams and MP Tova Hamilton also visited the relocation sites to assess the progress and ensure the necessary support is being provided.

Our focus remains on helping affected families through this transition, providing practical assistance and supporting them as they rebuild and move ahead.
