The Government will be selecting four communities across the corporate area for a pilot programme aimed at relocating persons living along gully banks, particularly those vulnerable to extreme weather events.

The announcement was made by Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness at the opening ceremony for the K2 apartments in Downtown Kingston yesterday.

Dr. Holness explained that assistance could include the construction of alternative housing facilities or the provision of relocation grants to help affected residents secure safer accommodation.
