The Kitson Town Community Development Committee (CDC) in St Catherine is putting together an economic enterprise to earn from some of the fruits produced in the area at the $15-million resource centre now under construction.
The community and its surroundings are known for mangoes and other crops, much of which are not developed into profit-making enterprises. But, immediate past chairperson of the CDC, Donna-Marie Daley, says that — with help from the Scientific Research Council — they are going to make a new turn in the area.
“We will be having a Social Enterprise (SE) that is going to drive the productive aspect of Kitson Town. That is where we are starting,” she tells JIS News.
The facility is to be located at the Kitson Town Resource Centre, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
