The Region 6 Democratic Council posted the visit via their Facebook page this past weekend, with Regional Vice Chairman Zamal Hussain, Minister Ramson former Guyana and West Indies leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo alongside other officials, during their full walk through of the stadium, including its respective facilities and sections.
Although initial delays at the stadium were caused due to shipping challenges, Minister Ramson noted following his tour and as recent as the GCB U21 Inter-Association tournament held last week at Providence, that the Ancient County venue along with the other facilities will be completed soon.
For Palmyra, located in East Canje, progress also seems well on course to beat the initial deadline, originally set for early next year, with efforts being made to complete the project by this year’s end, putting completion well ahead of projected time.
Additional building components will be arriving for Palmyra this month, with prefabricated concrete Slabs, roofing and steel structures set to be incorporated into the stadium’s design.
The venue itself boasts a modernized look with a huge parking lot, fencing, sewage and water systems which are expected to be better or at least on par with that of Providence, Media Center, Player’s Pavilion with a seating capacity set for 10,000.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie, New Amsterdam, Bayroc and Anna Regina will also have stadiums which will play a crucial role in the growth of the country’s cricket /sports sector, as well as other areas such as tourism, entertainment etc.
