Efforts are afoot to have Mabaruma become a model town in Guyana’s hinterland with a focus on a green economy and youth development.

This was disclosed during a recent interview with Mayor Henry Smith  and Town Clerk Barrington Wade, the latter of whom related that with a “skeleton staff” of only four permanent employees, the Mabaruma Town Council endeavours to be “service oriented,” as it strives to accomplish the big plans set out for the development of the town.
