"The term BREDS is short for 'brethren', a familiar way of hailing a person from the local fishing community. BREDS is a non-profit organisation established in 1998 to promote education, sports, cultural heritage and emergency health care in Treasure Beach. The organisation is administered by volunteers and funded annually through individual donations and the proceeds of special projects."
"Phase One is the construction of a building that houses changing rooms, a storeroom, caretaker's room, bathrooms and a sewage-treatment system. It has wheelchair access and cost $3 million to build."
"In Phase Two, fencing of the property, a cricket pitch, a children's play area and drilling a well for water supply will be completed."
"In Phase Three, the basketball, netball and tennis courts will all be constructed as well as ropes course for leadership programmes. In the final phase, a multi-purpose community centre will be built."
"Chairman of Breds, Jason Henzell, said plans were well advanced for the facility to be utilised as a sports tourism centre, which would make it the first of its kind in Jamaica. The total complex is estimated to cost J$120 million."
