Contractor says all his 7 school jobs almost complete

PETERSFIELD, Westmoreland — While several schools in western Jamaica still have a long way to go to repair damage inflicted by last October’s Hurricane Melissa, Petersfield Primary in Westmoreland is now 98 per cent complete. There are only a few doors and windows left to be installed.

The Petersfield project is one of seven being undertaken by Archistruct Limited. Others include William Knibb High in Trelawny and five schools in St Ann. According to owner and managing director of the 14-year-old company Chadwick Lawrence, all the schools are almost 100 per cent repaired.

“The minister [of education] did say she’s holding us accountable, so I take that one seriously. I couldn’t afford to disappoint her,” he told the Jamaica Observer Wednesday.
