ST JAMES, Jamaica — Residents, volunteers and public and private -sector officials came together on Labour Day to renovate the Rose Heights Community Centre in St James, which sustained damage during Hurricane Melissa.
The Labour Day Parish Project, undertaken at a cost of approximately $3.8 million, included clean-up, roof works and painting of the space that serves more than 17,000 community members. A garden will also be planted on the grounds.
The rehabilitated facility is expected to not only serve as a community hub but an emergency shelter during hurricanes.
