The CITI Health Training Center in Brooklyn, New York wants to setup a Veterinary Educational Institution and a Nursing Training School on the island.

A team from the US organization is expected to visit Montserrat early Janauary 2007, to continue discussions on the proposed project.

The Honourable Chief Minister Dr. Lowell Lewis said: 

“We have begun discussions with a north American group, who’re interested in setting up a veterinary school and a nursing school here on Montserrat and we’re expecting a visit from them in January and we’re hoping that, that would be another successful venture.” 

Bosses from the New York based CITI Health Training Center expressed their interest in doing business on Montserrat to the Honourable Chief Minister Dr. Lowell Lewis, during a meeting at the 11th Caribbean Multinational Business conference in Colon, Panama last month.

 Chief Minister Dr. Lewis said: 

“I am pleased that they have chosen Montserrat as a possible site for their business, we’re keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that the volcano behaves itself and that when the team visits the island we’ll be able to convince them there are sufficient areas in the north of the island which are not impacted by the volcano that would allow them to want to continue with their interest in having this veterinary school and nursing school on Montserrat.”
