Prime Minister Keith Mitchell met this morning (October 27) with representatives of John Reid and Sons (Strucsteel) Ltd., an international company specialising in the manufacture of industrial buildings, arenas and other large structures. Strucsteel Technical Director Rollo Reid, who is based in England, informed the Prime Minister that the company is interested in assisting with the rebuilding of Grenada, following the destruction caused by Hurricane Ivan on September 7. Specifically, the company is interested in building a new National Stadium in time for the 2007 Cricket World Cup according to International Cricket Council standards, as well as helping with new schools, repairing damaged schools and other public buildings. In response to this offer, the Prime Minister said this Country is “ready for action” and welcomed the keen interest by Strucsteel to become involved in the rebuilding process, with structures that are hurricane resistant. The Company representatives are also meeting with officials from the Grenada National Stadium Authority, the Ministry of Education and other Government ministries. The visit by Strucsteel representatives was coordinated by Grenada’s Consul and Trade Office in Port of Spain. SOURCE: OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER
