THE Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), under the Ministry of Housing and Water, last Wednesday noted that several persons will receive house lots equipped with necessary amenities to make their lives easier.

This housing development project consists of current infrastructural works in village Number 75 and Number 76 in Region Six, East Berbice, Corentyne. According to Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, these developmental works include the clearing of the land, construction of access roads and bridges, culverts and drainage systems.

This will be a major relief to residents during heavy rain periods, and more importantly, for the farmers whose crops and livestock can be lost during flooding.
The work at Number 75 Housing Development have been divided into four lots and is being developed by Annirude Ramcharitar Construction, Unice Contracting and Engineering, H. Nauth and Sons and Dennis Tahal Engineering, while at Number 76, a total of seven lots are being developed by Strategy Construction, Dennis Tahal Engineering, Reliance Inc., Feroz Construction, One Call Construction, and Rajendra Ramcharitar Construction.

In July of this year, Minister Croal indicated that $1.2 billion was being invested in the Number 75 scheme programme for infrastructural upgrades, while at the Number 76 scheme, several would benefit from approximately $2 billion in continued infrastructural investments.
