Kingston hotel project developers apply for environmental permit

By Miranda La Rose

The developers of the ‘Georgetown Marriot Hotel and Casino Complex’ in Kingston have applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for environmental authorisation, to undertake the construction and operation of the hotel and casino.
Meanwhile, observers are questioning the experience of the developers in construction of the facility, which may cost an estimated US$52 million, and the sources of funding.
A notice to the public in yesterday’s edition of the Guyana Chronicle gave notice that Adam Development/Urbahn Associates (ADUA) has submitted an application to undertake the construction of the facility at the Sea Wall Battery Road, Kingston, Georgetown which would entail the removal of buildings, pile driving and general construction and operations.
