UNCLE Eddie’s Association, which runs the home for the elderly at Jackson Street, Tucville, Georgetown, has been granted title to the 3.1127 acres of State land on which the building sits.Minister of State Joseph Harmon made the announcement during a post-Cabinet press briefing on Wednesday.
“The Government has found it necessary to grant title to the Association of Uncle Eddie’s Home, to facilitate the further development of the home for care of the elderly.”
The Uncle Eddie’s Association was registered as a friendly society in April 1973, and has since been occupying the State land on which the home sits.
Development of the home had been stymied because the land was not titled, Harmon added.
“It is Cabinet’s hope that with the granting of this deed of gift so that the Home can have a title, it will facilitate better facilities for our elderly who live there,” Minister Harmon said.
