SOME 200 three-bedroom flat homes will soon be constructed at Leonora, Region Three, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) and South Atlantic Logistics and General Services Inc., on Friday.
The agreement was signed by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), Sherwyn Greaves and New Century International Founder and CEO, Alex De La Cruz.

Each home will measure 862 square feet, which is 62 more square feet than the other three-bedroom homes being constructed under the national housing programme. The homes will, however, remain the same cost of $9 million.
Further, each unit will be constructed on approximately 5,000 square feet of land, using interlocking columns and blocks and without the use of mortar. The columns will also form a part of the foundation of the homes.
