PORTLAND, Jamaica —Vice Chairman of the Portland Municipal Corporation Rohan Vassell has welcomed the redevelopment of Da Villa Juanita in Hector's River, describing the investment as an important development that is expected to contribute to the social and economic growth of the community and wider Portland. Vassell, who was speaking at Saturday's media launch of the property, said the development had generated excitement and optimism among residents and stakeholders in the area. "Da Villa Juanita is an important development for Hector's River and surrounding areas, and I know I speak not only for myself but for the people of this area.

We are all excited and optimistic about what this has to offer," Vassell said. He noted that the project would go beyond improving the aesthetics of the community, arguing that it would play a more significant role in advancing the social and economic development of the area. "This project, however, will not only serve as an enhancement of the aesthetics of the area but will, more importantly, enhance the social and economic development of the entire community," he said.

Vassell said the investment also represented a vote of confidence in Jamaica's economic climate and demonstrated commitment to Portland. "This investment is an expression of confidence in the current economic climate of the country and an expression of support and loyalty to not only this area but also the wider Portland," he said. He added that he was personally proud of the development and its potential impact on Hector's River.

According to Vassell, Mayor of Port Antonio Councillor Paul Thompson has also expressed optimism about the project, saying he believes it holds significant promise for the community and its residents. Vassell offered high commendation to proprietor Laeron Leroy Lewis and his team for undertaking the venture, saying the investment demonstrated that Portland remains a place where people can invest and create opportunities. "In embarking on this venture, Mr Lewis and his team have shown the world that Portland is a place where people can invest, while at the same time setting an example for others to follow," Vassell said.

He said the Portland Municipal Corporation welcomes investments of this nature and remains committed to providing the necessary services to facilitate the success of developments within the parish.
