 The CDC buildings were constructed in an effort to provide housing to those who lost their homes to the 1948 fire in castries. The project was funded by the Colonial Development Corporation, hence the apartment complex being referred to as the CDC. The National Housing Corporation is responsible for the castries' housing estate, commonly referred to as the old CDC, and the Darling Road Housing Estate, commonly referred to as the new CDC. The cooperation embarked on the beautification and restoration of the Darling Road Housing Estate, which comprises 10 apartment blocks and 42 shopping units. Sidonia Childs is the Acting Managing Director of the National Housing Corporation. We're taking a holistic approach to remedying a lot of the issues that we're having within the city, within the CDCs. We started a redentification project with the Ministry of Health sometime in June, and it ran until December. Minister of Responsibility for External Affairs and the Parliamentary Representative for Castries' Central Honourable Sara-Flood Bournem explained that the project is beneficial on many fronts, addressing the needs of residents while providing much-needed employment at this time. I want to say how very pleased I am, how much I welcome the opportunity for some of our constituents to find employment. As this will progress, of course, we would have liked to employ many more persons, but we look for other opportunities to ensure that we continue to provide employment for the constituents. For us, this is just the first step to really enhancing this area for our residents. Of course, there are other concerns that we would like to address in terms of the general upkeep, the security, the safety, and the overall aesthetics of the environment. Contract on the project, Cyril Donnelly, indicated that residents, shop owners and the public, have been very accommodating and understanding during the works. Presently, we remain about 48 workers in all. I divided the project into seven pieces. I have seven subcontractors. Each of them have a billion, but all in all, the tenants are happy, public eyes are happy, and I'm happy that I deliver on time or ahead of time. Next part of the project, civil works will also be conducted and includes the resurfacing of carparks and landscaping.
