… roads, bridges being built
Housing developments along the East Bank Demerara is picking up a fast pace with work progressing in a number of areas. Several developers have been granted plots especially at Providence and works have commenced in these areas.
Equipment owned by a number of construction companies were yesterday seen in operations.
According to officials, plots of lands have been granted to Courtney Benn Construction Services, BK International, Buddy’s Housing Development and CARICOM General Insurances, among others.
A piece of land aback of the Providence Police Station has also been awarded to Presidential Advisor, Odinga Lumumba, reportedly in exchange for farmlands that he reportedly gave up in Berbice.
Government has opened up new lands for housing between Agricola/Eccles to Diamond and had announced that it was developing 10,000 new lots. However, the Providence area mainly has been allotted for private development.
Buddy’s and Courtney Benn have both been granted 50 acres each for development. These lands lie about a mile back of former cane fields bordering Greenfield Park and Mocha roadway. A remigrant scheme is also said to be earmarked for the area.
About a mile in from the Mocha road head, just south of that road, work has also started to clear lands for house lots. Workers from the Guyana Power and Light were in the area yesterday relocating poles. Further west, Courtney Benn workers were working on an access bridge leading to their scheme.
Work has already started to construct access roads to the new schemes between Princess Hotel and the Guyana National Stadium and aback Greenfield Park.
Behind Republic Park, CARICOM General Insurance has started work on a new scheme and at Eccles, west of the Haag Bosch dumpsite, equipment are operating to clear lands there for house lots.
The housing industry has been described as one of the fastest growing one in Guyana with government developing several of them at the moment. Areas like Mahdia, Linden, Region Three, Four and Five were where the focus has been in recent years.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
