Demolition of the Charles Harwood Memorial Complex Main Campus Begins

New state-of-the-art public health facility to rise from the rubble with $291 million in FEMA funding

The V.I. Department of Health has commenced the demolition of the Charles Harwood Memorial Complex’s main campus as part of its efforts to construct a new state-of-the-art public health facility on St. Croix. “We would like to thank you (the community) for the trust you have placed in us on constructing this critical infrastructure for the people of the Virgin Islands,” said Reuben Molloy, assistant commissioner at DOH, speaking from the demolition site. “Remember, our goal is to reduce health risks, improve access to equitable, quality health care services and enforce health standards.”

On Thursday, Lemartec USVI, the company contracted to carry out the demolition, began tearing down the eastern-most section of the large complex.
