WATCH: St Elizabeth receives major infrastructure relief from developers

ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — Ripton Group of Companies and Alcore Company have joined forces to rebuild a number of houses in the Parottee community in St Elizabeth.

The companies say they have deployed more than 70 workmen on the project.

They are reconstructing some homes from the ground up, installing solar street lights to brighten the area, and providing mattresses and bathroom facilities — including toilets and wash areas — for residents.

Company leaders say demand for assistance is high, but they are committed to continuing the work.
