3 contracts in 5 days! ‘Time VG got attention’- Premier Fahie
“We are pleased to see that contracts are signed to rehabilitate and reconstruct public buildings like the Bregado Flax School and the Flax Administration Building on Virgin Gorda and today we see another one being signed on Virgin Gorda,” Premier Fahie said on Tuesday, May 5, 2020, during the contract signing ceremony for the reconstruction of the John E. George Administration Building in North Sound.
The $625,400 contract was signed between the Recovery and Development Agency and Quality Construction. It’s funded by the Government of the Virgin Islands through the Caribbean Development Bank Recovery and Rehabilitation Loan.
Premier Fahie continued: “I know that there are those who are thinking that all the money is going to Virgin Gorda, but please rest assured that there are plenty more projects coming for the people of the BVI on all the islands. But it is about time Virgin Gorda get a little more attention. My Government has always said that no island would be left behind.”
'It’s practically unheard of'- Hon Vincent O. Wheatley
Meanwhile, Ninth District Representative and Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration, Honourable Vincent O. Wheatley registered his elation.
“I am indeed very happy today. This is my third time here and my third contract in five days concerning a sister island, and I am very, very pleased. It’s phenomenal, and it’s practically unheard of. It is really good to see this building fixed after the hurricanes,” he remarked.
He also said it is good to see after many years of being neglected that the sister island is receiving some attention.
Residents of the sister islands have often complained of being neglected over the years.
Hon Vincent O. Wheatley (R9) of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) Government was elected Ninth District Representative in February 2019, taking over from Dr Hubert R. O'Neal of the National Democratic Party (NDP).

Why is it that Jost Van Dyke is always neglected???
[" Forward Ever, backwards Never.
From my experience the entire Leverick Bay Resort was constructed by Virgin Gorda contractors. Spring Bay Resorts, Top Of the Baths and many other local residents and Villas were built by Virgin Gorda contractors. What is it that disqualified them now that they cannot win one contract. Ralph T. O'Neal must be turning in his grave when all the contracts are signing and his people are not getting any.
