With a high demand for land in Region Four, the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) has announced that it has been planning to open as much as approximately 6,000 acres for development. GLSC Commissioner Trevor Benn announced the plans at the agency’s end-of-year press conference on Monday.
Benn explained that the commission is currently in the midst of consultations with several stakeholders and government agencies. A committee has also been established to oversee the planning and development of the area that has been proposed. He noted that while a total of approximately 6,000 acres of public lands in Region Four is under consideration to be opened for development, the preliminary plans aim at an initial 3,000 acres.
