Thursday afternoon’s ground breaking ceremony for the St. Kitts Cooperative Credit Union housing programme is evidence of the high level of confidence in the local economy and a demonstration of the healthy investment climate that exists in the twin-island Federation.

Speaking at his monthly Press Conference on Wednesday afternoon, Prime Minister Douglas said the Credit Union was breaking ground on Thursday afternoon for its Scenic Housing Development on 29 acres of land in the hills of St. Peters that will provide its membership an opportunity to fulfill a dream of owning their own homes.

Prime Minister Douglas said his Government was working closely with the Police Credit Union to undertake a similar housing programme for its membership.

Pembroke Estate’s Owner Evicts Nevis Homeowners

Charlestown, Nevis
October 3, 2008

The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation (NHLDC) came to the assistance of some Brown Hill residents, who recently received eviction notices from a private landowner at Pembroke Estate.

Manager Mr. Eustace Nisbett Jr. said on October 3, during a visit to the estate, that the Corporation was made aware of the situation and moved swiftly to relocate the residents to a new housing area at Low Ground. The move he said was in keeping with the Nevis Island Administration’s (NIA) plan to provide proper social transformation. The estate has four residential structures and one business.

“Pembroke Estate as we know it is a privately owned property and has been so for a number of years and remains in that status today. Unfortunately, there are a number of persons who would have taken up residence and have conducted business in some cases on this property,” he said.

Minister with responsibility for Housing and Lands on Nevis Hon. Robelto Hector, said he was satisfied with the direction the housing revolution on Nevis had taken.

Mr. Hector made the remark on September 10, 2008, during an interview with the Department of Information. He said two years ago when the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP)-led Nevis Island Administration (NIA) entered office, it recognised the need to make affordable housing available to every strata of the community.

“I am happy to see the housing programme is alive and active and the people of Nevis are benefiting,” he said.

Through the Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation (NHLDC) the NIA embarked on a comprehensive programme of home construction.

Mr. Hector also explained, that to date a number of persons had benefited from the housing programme and pointed to a special scheme designed for persons in the Administration’s employ, for the first time in the island’s history.

“Under the Civil service Mortgage Scheme facilitated by the Nevis Corporative Credit Union, 28 persons have been approved for housing loans – Civil Servants as well as Non-Established workers who have been given such benefits as established workers – and I am satisfied with the project,” he said.
