Cayon Community Centre reopens after nearly five years
The renovated building will again house the Cayon Post Office alongside a satellite office for social services.
CAYON, St Kitts. The Cayon Community Centre and Post Office has reopened after an extensive renovation, nearly five years after it was closed in November 2021.
The building was officially reopened on Wednesday by Acting Prime Minister Dr Geoffrey Hanley and Minister of State with responsibility for Social Development and Gender Affairs, Senator Isalean Phillip.
Work on the facility addressed long-running structural, environmental and operational problems. It included roof repairs, painting inside and out, perimeter fencing, the rehabilitation of the cistern and plumbing, and the removal of materials affected by mould.
Persistent leaks and concerns about air quality were resolved with a roof addition, including a second concrete slab, followed by air-quality testing. Davis Construction carried out the roof work with support from the Public Works Department.
As well as the post office, the centre will house a satellite office for social services and community development.
Minister Phillip urged residents to look after the building and to treat it as their own property.
