UDC makes another attempt to sell Forum Hotel

Yet another attempt is being made to find a buyer for the old Forum Hotel complex in Portmore, St. Catherine.

The Urban Development Corporation (UDC) has again advertised the property for sale.

Starting Monday, interested parties can collect information packages on the property from the UDC.

September 30 is the deadline for the submission of proposals.

The old Forum complex has been in a state of disrepair since it ceased operating as a hotel more than 30 years ago.

Deemed a ‘white elephant’, an attempt was made a few years ago to lease it for use as a health and education facility.

However, after seven years with no improvements to the property, the UDC has decided to sell it.
