THE first 108 beneficiaries of residential lots in Block A of the Bath Housing Development have officially taken a major step toward home-ownership, following a successful lot identification exercise hosted Wednesday morning.

Led by surveyors from the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), the exercise enabled allottees to physically identify and mark the boundaries of their individual lots. This milestone marks a pivotal moment for the families involved, many of whom now move significantly closer to building their future homes.

The Bath Housing Development is a major government initiative aimed at addressing housing needs in Region Five. Once complete, the scheme will offer approximately 640 residential lots. Its master plan also includes designated reserves for public infrastructure such as schools, recreational areas, and essential services—underscoring a comprehensive, community-oriented approach to development.

Infrastructure work within the scheme is advancing steadily. Roads, drainage systems, and utilities are currently being installed, laying the foundation for a fully serviced and sustainable neighborhood.

The event not only signifies progress in housing delivery but also reaffirms the government’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life for Guyanese families through equitable access to land and shelter. For the 108 beneficiaries, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in a community designed with long-term growth and livability in mind.
