Friday, April 16–In an interview with the Department of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Smith said, “The BVI Post fully supports the move, which will satisfy the health and safety concerns associated with the current location on Main Street.” The General Post Office on Main Street will be relocated to an interim facility at the Qwomar Building on the Blackburne Road, and opened to the public on April 26.
