Rain threatens post-Melissa rebuild as cement output falls

Rainfall is threatening to delay islandwide reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Melissa, as Caribbean Cement Company Ltd says its operations are being hampered by adverse weather conditions. The development could further slow repairs to damaged homes, businesses and public infrastructure, already facing setbacks from material shortages, limited labour, rising prices and increased transportation costs. Rainfall is also delaying progress on work sites, as the Meteorological Service of Jamaica said the inclement weather is expected to persist through the weekend.
