The Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is reinforcing its commitment to urban order and safety as City Engineer Colvern
Venture calls on citizens to comply with the city’s by-laws. In an effort to ensure proper enforcement, Venture, along with Building Inspector Supervisor (ag) Lindon Scott and Building Inspector Encory Gladd, recently conducted site visits to various locations across the city.

During these visits, individuals found in violation of Georgetown’s building regulations were served notices. The City Council emphasized that these notices are part of an ongoing initiative to curb unauthorized construction and informal vending within city limits.
Venture has urged all residents to immediately cease any unauthorized building projects and vending activities, stressing the importance of adherence to city regulations to maintain safety, order, and structured urban development.

“We understand that some individuals may not be fully aware of the regulations, but it is crucial for everyone to recognize the importance of obtaining the necessary permits and assistance from the City Engineer’s Department before undertaking any construction or vending activities,” Venture stated.
The City Engineer’s Department remains committed to guiding and assisting the public in obtaining the necessary approvals for their projects. Venture encouraged residents to visit the department for support and to ensure that all activities align with the city’s regulations.

The M&CC underscored that compliance with Georgetown’s by-laws contributes to a safer and more organized environment for all residents. The City Engineer’s Department continues to work closely with the public to facilitate a smooth and transparent process for addressing building and construction concerns.
