Mitch Couriard MBE, a well-known honorary police officer who helped to co-ordinate and organise many high-profile public events, died in October 2015, aged 61.
He also had a passion for working with young Islanders as a senior member of the Jersey Youth Service.
Andium Homes, which is behind the proposed development of 74 new homes on the Summerland site – the former home of the States police – has now announced that it will name the development Le Clos Couriard.
In a joint statement, Mr Couriard’s sons, Christopher and Robert, said: ‘We are delighted that Andium Homes has chosen to name the Summerland development in our father’s honour.
‘This is a perfect tribute as he worked tirelessly to help the community during his lifetime, just as this new development will proceed to do in his name.’
