Vendors of the Mackenzie Municipal Market have been commended for their vigilance in stopping worm infested wood from being used in the recent $11M rehabilitation of the market.

“If there wasn’t this level of vigilance, you would have ended up with a situation whereby, having waited all these years for the maintenance work to be done and then now when the work is being done, you’re getting substandard work, quality of material and all of that,” Linden IMC Chairman Orrin Gordon told journalists on January 2nd.

Rehabilitation of the Mackenzie Municipal Market was part of an agreement between the Ministry of Local Govern-ment and USAID in March 2014.
