Today, the government demolished a second building as part of its initiative to revitalize the capital city.

The building on High Street, owned by Social Security, has been a longstanding landmark in the area for decades.

However, officials have concluded that its removal is essential to pave the way for modern infrastructure that aims to revitalize the urban environment.

According to government officials, this initiative focuses on enhancing public spaces, catering to both residents and visitors. It will create opportunities not just for new construction, but also for green areas and various beautification elements.

Amid the new changes, many residents believe it is essential to prioritize the preservation of St. John’s cultural identity, ensuring that its rich history remains intact despite the ongoing developments.
