Apparently, the government has plans for the space which now exists on the grounds where the old New Amsterdam Hospital once stood. This was disclosed by the Regional Chairman of Region Six, Zulfikar Mustapha, during the annual press conference.
According to the official, there is hope for some sort of economic investment on the land at Charles Place, New Amsterdam in the long term.
Representatives from the three Chambers of Commerce in Berbice and members of the Berbice private sector recently toured the site to make assessments.
The chairman expressed regrets at the manner in which the building was dismantled a few months ago.
Mustapha also alluded to the plans of President Bharrat Jagdeo to transform the Palmyra area in Berbice into a commercial shopping zone in the near future.
At present, most of the hospital complex has evaporated, leaving some concrete blocks where pillars once stood. Much of the complex was vandalized by vagrants and other persons.
Whatever remained collapsed at various points much to the shock and at the same time disapproval of numerous Berbicians.
Many persons and organizations have criticized the manner in which the government has handled the demolition and destruction of the old New Amsterdam Hospital, a landmark and treasured birthplace to many. (Leon Suseran)
