The Administration Building, which was damaged in the hurricanes of 2017, houses the District Office and Police Station, and was repaired through a partnership between the Government of the Virgin Islands and the Recovery and Development Agency (RDA).

Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) in remarks at the handover ceremony said it was fitting that the administration building should carry the name of a stalwart who was perhaps one of the Territory’s most inspiring figures.

“By a simple stand, Faulkner altered the course of the political, economic and social development of the Virgin Islands and we are honoured to see to the rehabilitation of this administration building today,” Premier Fahie said.

Governor, John J. Rankin, CMG added that the reopening of the building was a sign of the progress that has been made in the Territory and for the people of Anegada.

Local District representative and Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration, Honourable Vincent  O. Wheatley (R9) said Theodolph Faulkner is no stranger, as he is the reason that there is a Legislative Council and for the arrival to this point in our Territory’s history.

“The completion of these works is a signal of the continuous improvements being made to benefit this community. I am happy that we have been able to partner with the RDA to see this administration building being repaired,” Honorable Wheatley said.

No Limit Construction completed the rehabilitative works, which included removal of floor, ceiling and wall tiles, electrical and plumbing works, installing of handrails, repairs to the cistern and exterior cosmetic works.
