Upgraded to the tune of $21m, the Soesdyke Post Office was yesterday recommissioned, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
The construction work on the building commenced on June 4 and was completed on October 29, DPI said. The single-flat commercial structure has approximately 810 square feet of usable space. At a dedication ceremony yesterday, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guyana Post Office Corporation, Rev. Dr. Murtland Raphael Massiah said the refurbished outpost is a “significant step” for the company. He described the former facility as deplorable and said when it became known to him that dedicated employees were working in those conditions he vowed to change the situation.
