Minister of Sport, Olivia Grange, made the announcement while speaking during the National Heritage Week Thanksgiving Church Service at the William Knibb Memorial Baptist Church in Falmouth, Trelawny on Sunday.
“It is my pleasure to say to you… that his [Usain Bolt’s] statue is ready to be erected here in the town…. [and] this is a gift to the parish of Trelawny,” she stated.
