NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (February 14, 2017) — Dr. Robertine Chaderton, Chairperson of the St. Kitts and Nevis Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation’s (SIDF) Board of Counsellors, expressed satisfaction with the status of projects funded by the Foundation in Nevis.
Her comment came at the end of a tour of four project sites on the island on February 14, 2017. She was accompanied by fellow counsellors Delara Taylor, Leon Lescott and Secretary Mrs. Marguerite Foreman. Premier of Nevis Hon. Vance Amory and Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance Colin Dore were also present.
“I would think that from what we have seen, the money that we have provided has been well used and in every case, I asked about cost overruns and I have been advised that it’s not likely to happen. So they are going to come in on time and on budget. So we are quite pleased,” she said.
The team visited the site proposed sites for the water taxi pier at Oualie Bay, the new treasury building in Charlestown and the Alexandra Hospital expansion project on Government Road and ongoing construction works at the Mondo athletic track at Long Point.

The Water Taxi Pier and the Treasury Building projects have been approved for funding by the Foundation but funds have not yet been disbursed.
