Rehabilitation works begin on Old Administration Building
A press release on Thursday, August 29, 2024, from the Office of the Deputy Governor said the project will see the rehabilitation of the front-facing façade.
This also includes the replacement of structural support members and all metallic features to make these aspects safer for pedestrians and motor vehicles.
Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Sharleen S. DaBreo-Lettsome, MBE said, “The Old Administration Building on Main Street represents a vital period in the history of the Virgin Islands and the Public Service and we must do whatever is possible to maintain the integrity of these historical structures. The Old Administration Building provided a solid foundation for some of the Public Service’s earliest days and we must do whatever is necessary to preserve the history that these walls hold.”
GND Construction was awarded the contract for the project and the first phase of the rehabilitation process is expected to be completed by November 2024.
Motorists and pedestrians are asked to exercise caution when traversing the area.

If it belongs to GOV, addressing the overall condition of the building can bring financial benefits in various ways. For instance relocating some of the Government Offices back there could reduce some of the rental cost government pay out, significantly.
Let’s persevere history, let’s persevere the entire building.
The BVI is here and will stay. The UK is here and will stay, if chosen.
In this world of rising negatives and uncertainties a now tiny tiny Overseas Territory of the UK, namely British Virgin Islands would be hard pressed by many and far greater world powers to fend off their preditory attempt to acquire a slice or more of our assets, and add to theirs.
I hope that you, or rather most of us have the insight to understand that in this competitive world with air to acquire more there is no draw. There must be a winner. The stronger will win, the weaker must suffer loss.
No one should even think in their mind that been and being under another country's rules is without pushback, but great strength is found where people are united, not so widely divided as the people of the BVI in time past and presently is.
Maybe, just maybe one day the UK may decide to and give the British Virgin independence, but if so when?
As many and I see are able to see our Spiritual, mental, greeeedy political tragetory mindset, independence in the short term for us is no more than a selfish and distructive dream.
Many and I hope that sooner rather than later all 48, or 49, or 50, whichever number is correct, will shortly be done.
GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS GOD. Amen.
Whoever coined the phrase: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." never met these young people. Because the old ones are the smart, new trick ones nowadays when we have computers and access to the world at our fingertips, not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars. Oh, I forgot, we don't have the money and the roads were not built properly with drainage back in the day when we had only $400,000 Budgets. We're in trouble.
