For expansion of Vocational Training school 

SOUTH REWARD--The Island Government will begin demolishing the old police apartments in South Reward on September 13 to facilitate the expansion of the St. Maarten Vocational Training School.

The building consisting of 10 apartments were constructed by the Federal Government, on island government property, for police officers primarily from Curaçao who came to work in St. Maarten. Now decades old, the building is in poor condition and the structure is not up to par.

"It has been deemed unliveable." Head of the Department of New Works Kurt Ruan said. "People have also used the building as a drug house. Notices will be placed to keep the public and especially the people in the immediate area informed of the work that will be carried out in their neighbourhood." Ruan added.

"More information about the expansion and duration of the work will be announced soon." Ruan concluded.
