NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (OCTOBER 01, 2015) — Work on a new addition to the Joycelyn Liburd Primary School in Gingerland continues apace and Minister responsible for Housing and Lands on Nevis Hon. Alexis Jeffers, says the multi-purpose wing funded by the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) will adequately serve the needs of students, staff and parents.
Mr. Jeffers made the comment when he toured the construction site for a first-hand look at the project’s progress on September 28, 2015.
He said on completion in December, the 3,000 sq. ft. concrete building will provide for an open dining area which will also serve as a meeting room. It will also have a sizable kitchen, 1,000 sq. ft. storage space and two wash rooms.

The Senior Minister noted that the project had the backing of Area Representative and Premier and Minister of Education Hon. Vance Amory whom he said was enthusiastic about the project.
Mr. Jeffers expressed satisfaction with the project’s progress led by contractor Carlisle Maynard.
“I am happy with the progress that we have made…He is doing a fantastic job here,” he said.

He expressed hope that when the facility is completed and commissioned it would be cared for by all who would use it to ensure its longevity.
