The Georgetown municipality last Friday went ahead and signed a contract with a private company, National Parking Systems, to install parking meters across the city, although a deal was already in place with a previous firm.
The announcement was made at Monday’s statutory city council meeting by Mayor Patricia Chase-Green.
The contract was inked on Friday after lengthy discussions with the company and other stakeholders.
Chase-Green had told Stabroek News that talks began with the investors last year
