ROSEAU, Dominica – Following hurricanes Erika and Maria’s devastation to Dominica, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit became a beacon of hope and rose to the challenge not only to ensure that more than 5,000 Dominicans will be able to relocate into new homes, he also embarked on an ambitious goal to ensure that Dominica becomes the world’s first climate resistant nation.
This level of resilience, foresight and cheerfulness extends to the people of Dominica who are now reaping the reward of new homes, world-class amenities and sustainable communities that are the envy of many Caribbean islands.
The plan is to have most of these developments complete by the end of 2019 and according to Montreal Management Consultants Est (MMCE) contracted by the government in September 2016 to design and construct Dominica’s housing project, “It is our intent that to provide buildings that are in line with the government’s objective of providing a climate resilient country, we are constantly reviewing designs and ideas to ensure that all buildings meet optional specifications,” Chris Timmins, project director of MMCE Dominica, said.
