[www.inewsguyana.com] – The Ministry of Communities will be establishing a new community at 4-Mile Bartica, Region Seven, to satisfy the demand for housing, according to a press release.
It was noted that the community will be designed to accommodate approximately 400 house lots. The release from the Ministry noted that Minister within the Ministry of Communities, Keith Scott, recently visited Bartica to inspect ongoing projects and discuss the creation of this new community.
He interacted with residents and Regional Officials, including the Regional Chairman, Gordon Bradford. The Central Housing and Planning Authority will be pursuing arrangements for the transfer of the 100 acres of land, needed for development of the area.
“Some of the activities that will commence following the legal process are: execution of block surveys, preparation of design layouts, and design of infrastructure such as roads, drains, structures, water and electrical distribution networks,” the release noted.
Further, the Ministry is planning to commence infrastructural development in January 2016 with the works to be advertised through national competitive bidding in December of this year.
“The establishment of this community comes at a time when Bartica is positioning to become a town by April 23, 2016, in keeping with the announcement made by His Excellency, President David Granger. To this end, Minister Scott intimated that the Ministry of Communities is committed to cooperating with the Regional Authorities for Bartica to achieve township status,” the Ministry noted.
