Minister for Urban Renewal and Parliamentary Representative for the Roseau North Constituency Hon. Julius Timothy believes that the new Dominica State College Expansion Project will complement other projects planned for the Bellevue Rawle area including the FIFA-funded goal 2 project.
The minister stated this when he addressed a ceremony to mark the completion of the main structure for the new Dominica State College on Tuesday.
“First of all, we have the FIFA-funded goal 2 project which is a state of the art mini football stadium for high level soccer games. When complete this playing field will truly be reflective of what can be obtained at a high class international mini stadium where our young people can come and excel in this sporting activity.”
Hon. Timothy also spoke of plans to transform the old Stockfarm landfill as another project which will enrich the new Dominica State College.
“We are also looking [to revolutionize] the old Stockfarm landfill. Efforts are being made to access technology that will aid in the repair process in order to ensure the former landfill is safe. Once the area has been repaired, we plan to use it for some important community project, however I think it will be ideal location for a 400 meter track for Dominica.”
The government of Dominica has made significant investments in the Bellevue Rawle area. This includes the current Petro Casa Housing Project which is nearing completion and the Bellevue Rawle Housing Project where five low-cost dwelling houses were constructed
A new grotto home is also being built in the area.
