BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI- A contract has been signed with E&K Construction for a new social home in Baughers Bay, as the Ministry of Health and Social Development delivers on its commitment to support vulnerable residents across the Virgin Islands.

Minister for Health and Social Development, Honourable Vincent O. Wheatley (R9) shared his thoughts on the significance of the project, stating that he was particularly pleased about this contract as he is familiar with the gentleman, Mr Marvin Malone, who is the recipient of the project.

Honourable Wheatley, according to a Government Information Service (GIS) press release, said: “He has waited many, many years for this to happen.
