Government has now received the keys to the newly renovated Vanterpool Administration Building on Virgin Gorda following a rededication and handover ceremony yesterday.
Speaking at the ceremony, Premier Andrew Fahie said the completion of these developments does not come easy. He added that people are always delighted to highlight when things are not being done but fail to acknowledge the good work the government is doing in refurbishing infrastructure throughout the territory.
“It is through unity and our shared cultural bonds as one people that we will shatter every glass ceiling that is in the way of the success and sustainability of our people. Your government recognises that we are on the Virgin Islands and that is why we are ensuring that our people on all the islands are treated equitably. No persons or islands should be left behind as we push forward the development of the Virgin Islands,” Fahie said.
“The proof of the pie is in the eating. Even despite going through the worst pandemic that continues to plague us, your government has ensured that projects that impact the need of the people, lift their quality of life and drive economic activity have been done on all our islands even with limited resources,” he continued.
