#JamaicaGleaner APRIL 24, 2025: Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie has pledged to resolve a long-standing drainage issue along Texas Avenue in Independence City, Portmore, that has caused severe structural damage to at least three homes. During a site visit on Tuesday, his second in three years, McKenzie announced that funding is now available to address the problem. However, he declined to disclose the exact amount, citing the procurement process, which, he said, will take up to six weeks.
