Arnold said in addition to the $12 million assured by the minister, some $3 million would be given for outstanding items. This brings the amount to the $15 million as was planned. The Government also plans to purchase a chroming plant to alleviate the hefty costs incurred by bands.
"Chroming a pan outside costs more. As they (chroming factories) go by the inches, the smallest pan would cost $800 to chrome. For a larger pan, they would charge $3,000 and more," he said.
The work on the Pan Trinbago headquarters is expected to resume early in the new year.
