#FBF Hon. Desmond McKenzie visited the Santa Cruz Market with Mayor Richard Solomon and Technical Officers.
On a prior visit to the Market, the Minister had committed to providing allocation for road repairs and he was pleased to see that the works were completed on this visit.
Yesterday, in Sam Sharpe Square, Montego Bay, the Ministry in collaboration with @sdcjamaica officially launched Cross Island Run 2026. The run, which will end in Kingston on Sunday November 1, is done annually as a lead up activity to Local Government and Community Month. (1/2)
(2/2) Watch out for our runners as they take the messages of our Nation’s leaders across the country for the next two weeks. #localgovatwork #YourVoice #YourCommunity
During a tour of the Santa Cruz Division last Friday, Hon. Desmond McKenzie, explained that the Ministry and @st_elizabeth_municipal will be working closely with the National Works Agency to address the town’s drainage issues. #localgovatwork

Your property tax is one of the most important source of revenue for your Municipal Corporation. Your tax funds a number of Communities Services.
We are making the payment process easier for you, with our Property Tax mobile unit. #localgovatwork #community #Service
#HappeningNow Hon. Desmond McKenzie, a team of Officers from the Ministry, St. Elizabeth Municipal Corporation, Mayor Richard Solomon and Councillors of the MC stopped at the Parish Infirmary to view some of the recent rehabilitation works done on the facility.
As we get ready to recognize World Homeless Day (October 10), let’s #Throwback to one of the many Indigent houses that the Ministry has built under the programme. Through this programme the Government aims to provide suitable homes to the most vulnerable in our communities.
What does a Chief Engineering Officer (formerly Superintendent of Roads and Works) really do? We followed Mr. Clevon Watson of the Clarendon Municipal Corporation to see what a typical day is like for him as the CEngO.

The Development Applications Review Process (DARP) is the official administrative framework used by the Government of Jamaica to manage, review, and fast-track applications for land subdivisions, building permits, and environmental construction licenses.
Today, the team from the Ministry, the Municipal Corporations, and National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) embarked on a DARP sub-division training session to further reinforce this interagency thrust. #localgovatwork #communitydevelopment #localgov
One stop, many services and endless possibilities! Today, the Social Development Commission's Red Hills CDC Social Services Fair connected residents with essential agencies and support services right in their community. #CommunityDevelopment #SDC #EmpoweringCommunities
Together, we can nourish, support and uplift our most vulnerable citizen, but we want to do so in a safe and dignified way.
If you're interested in undertaking a feed programme for the homeless, contact the Municipal Corporation in your parish for more information.
