Burger Gully Flood Fix & Relocation Plan | Jamaica News

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

Burger Gully’s flood crisis is getting a major upgrade: $30 million to fix the gully walls and floor, with work already underway and set to finish before hurricane season. But that’s just phase one—MP Phillip Paulwell is also pushing to relocate 150 residents living dangerously close to the gully banks, eyeing sites in Mountain View and Rockfort for new four-story apartments under Project HOPE, a U.S.-backed initiative funded with $2 million. These homes will feature proper utilities and require resident upkeep. While repairs are vital, Paulwell warns flooding remains a constant threat—and he’s always on standby for the next downpour.
