A statue of legendary sprinter Usain Bolt is soon to be erected in the historic Water Square, Falmouth, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Trelawny capital.
The announcement was made earlier this week by Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Olivia Grange.
Bolt was born in Sherwood Content in the parish and has gone to be one of the world’s greatest athletes, dominating the sprints on the senior level globally for the better part of a decade.
The statue, is a replica of the Barry Watson masterpiece in Statue Park at the National Stadium in Kingston.
The town of Falmouth is this year celebrating its 250th anniversary and a raft of activities are planned to mark the occasion.
But, for the most part, the celebratory events had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
