Agreed besides western Jamaica need to develop its track and field infrastructure.

They should look to close it for a year. They build massive stadium in less than 18 months in England. A refurbish job shouldn't take so long unless the contractors want to rob the government with cost overruns.

Close it for 2 years,stage champs in the west.If they can put down tracks ( with white wash) in the trelawney stadium, and split events between Catherine hall.

A report from Apec Consultants, the company contracted by the Jamaican Government to research the redevelopment of the National Stadium and give an estimate of the cost for the project, is due in early October, this according to Major Desmon Brown, general manager of Independence Park Limited (IPL).

“We have recommended a five-year project so that the stadium can still be used while the renovation is going on, so they don’t have to shut it down.

We will be able to host most of the events that we are hosting now. The construction could be done in two years (but) that would mean closing the stadium to do that construction, so we are recommending a five years programme, so we can still use the stadium while it is being done. But that depends on what the government decides,” said Brown.
