Parottee shift

LUANA, St Elizabeth — Residents of the hurricane-ravaged coastal community of Parottee are set to benefit from the choice of relocation to Luana, just 10 kilometres away, north of Black River.

Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness made the announcement of the Government’s plan to facilitate the relocation of Parottee residents to Luana at the ground-breaking ceremony for the $3.7-billion Luana Gardens phase four development on Wednesday.

He said two consultations have already been done with residents and stakeholders about the planned relocation “if they have to move, that it isn’t a contention, and so it is for the people of Parottee”.
