Construction works have begun on the Youth Center in Grand Bay which was severely damaged by hurricane Maria in 2017.
Village Council Chairman and Dominica Labour Party Candidate for the Grand Bay Constituency, Edward Registe says the five hundred-thousand-dollar project is expected to be completed by the mid hurricane season.
Registe says the two buildings are being refurbished for resilience by two contractors, and he hopes that the buildings will be able to function as a hurricane shelter for the community.
