Government’s latest housing development which sit on the outskirts of Bridgetown should be set to be handed over in May 2010.
The four towers construct at the Country Road/Bank Hall junction are advancing and is another step in the road for the administration which put housing as part of its main objectives during its tenure.
The news recently came from Minister of Housing and Lands, Michael Lashley, who said that the four National Housing Corporation (NHC) buildings, would provide 56 units in total, comprising 48 two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom homes.
But government’s high rise solutions do not stop with Country Park Towers. According to the Housing Minister Mr. Lashley similar high rise ventures are on the cards.
He said, “We are looking at launching, through the course of this financial year, in Eckstein Village, Tudor Bride, St. Michael, and doing a high rise there. There are also plans for another at Valerie in St. Michael,” he added.
Lashley revealed that in addition to the 20, two-bedroom units being built at Stuarts Lodge, Tweedside Road, St. Michael, NHC employees would be building 20 units at Fordes Road, also in that parish.
“That is well under way, and already we have invited and selected, in terms of the tender process, the company to do the infrastructural work, so that would be started very shortly. We are also looking at building 12 quadruplexes at Haggatt Hall, and that
will come on stream during this financial year as well,” Minister Lashley pointed out.
