Dear Editor,
Amidst all the wailing and beating of breasts for the old New Amsterdam Hospital, may I offer a simple suggestion:
Let the government refurbish the building and departmentalize it to house the various scattered government departments in Berbice. In simple words, preserve the historical significance of the building while at the same time, provide a ‘one-stop shop’ place where Berbicians can get service and do business with the government.
How will it be paid for? The money saved from rental or maintenance or sale of all those scattered present locations where government departments are now being housed.
Yours faithfully,
Shawn Mangru
