JAMAICA: The Climate Change Park in Portmore, St. Catherine is slated to be rehabilitated.
Local Government and Community Development Minister, Hon. Desmond McKenzie, says funds have been allocated in the Government’s 2016/17 Estimates of Expenditure, which were tabled in the House of Representatives on April 14, to undertake the project.
He made the announcement during a meeting with representatives of the Portmore Municipal Council, on April 13.
Established in 2014, the 15-acre property was the designated National Labour Day Project that year.
The park is a joint venture between the Portmore Municipal Council and the city of Hagen in Germany, which were twinned in 2012.
Its development was funded by the German government at a cost of approximately $34.4 million (€249,900), and was one of several projects implemented under the Municipal Climate Partnership Programme.
