The Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has put plans in place to build temporary schools at the ET Joshua tarmac.
Prime Minister Dr. Hon. Ralph Gonsalves said that the schools will be constructed on the second half of the runway. Three schools are expected to be built.
One of the temporary schools was originally intended to be built in Sandy Bay to house students while extensive repairs were carried on the school there.
Gonsalves said that the plan to build temporary schools had been in place long before the explosive eruption of the La Soufriere volcano.
The Prime Minister also made mention of work taking place on the western side of the runway in the form of a few containers being placed there as part of VINLEC’s expansion of their Cane End generating capacity.
