Mayor of Falmouth Councillor Colin Gager is excited over the prospect that the opening of the newly-constructed Falmouth Market set for January, is “the wind of change that will blow the commercial district southwards”, along Market Street in that north-western town.

“This will be the last December for the market and bend-down market at that present [Lower Parade Street] location. We are pressing; it is a little bit challenging, but we want to have the opening by the end of January [2018]. The market should be opened and what you will be having then is a completely different town,” Gager told the Jamaica Observer West.

During the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the $180 million state-of-the-art market in April 2015, then Member of Parliament for Trelawny North Patrick Atkinson stated that the facility would “herald the establishment of a commercial hub across the other side of the town.”

The construction of the market by contractors, Surrey Paving and Aggregate, was scheduled for completion by December of that year. more
