A promise to residents of St John that the stalled Hope Housing Project at Pool Lands will resume within the first quarter of next year.
Minister of Housing, Lands and Maintenance, Christopher Gibbs, says the ministry is currently addressing legal issues over the ownership of the Pool Lands, where there are unfinished structures.
He says this is why the project was started and stopped several years ago.
Mr Gibbs gave an assurance of progress, after Member of Parliament for St John, Charles Griffith, said he was tired of telling residents he didn’t know when the project would restart or be completed.
Minister Gibbs admitted that the abandoned project, now overgrown with bush, has been an eye-sore for residents and the ministry.
