 Coming to you from our GIS studios, I am General Norvel and this is your Midday News Brief. The second phase of the Laborn Water Supply Improvement Project to commence soon. The Laborn Water Supply Improvement Project despite having commenced in 2009, several homes in the community were left out due to resource limitations. Some 10 years later, signing ceremony was held at the headquarters of the Water and Sewage Company, Wasco, for the commencement of the second phase of the Laborn Water Supply Improvement Project. Government officials including Minister for Equity, Social Justice, Local Government and Empowerment and Parliamentary Representative for Grossgule Honourable Leonard Montute expressed gratitude to the management and staff of the Caribbean Development Bank, St. Lucia Social Development Fund and Wasco for their commitment to the project and to the people of Laborn for their patience. Work is scheduled to commence on Tuesday 2nd July 2019 and will be executed over a period of five months. The next project for the community of Laborn will be the much-needed rehabilitation of the main community road. As the Government of St. Lucia celebrates the contribution and dedication of public servants to national development through Public Service Week, Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Cooperatives Honourable Harold Stanislaus has applauded the architectural section in physical planning. Minister Stanislaus says the unit is staffed with design talent for the building of a modern St. Lucia.
