The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had approved the construction of a helipad at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara but is yet to process another application to develop part of the foreshore there as part of the project.
This is according to the agency’s head Dr Vincent Adams, who said that the developer, Orinduik Development, has to fulfill several requirements before the second application is approved.
Last week, Stabroek News reported that the EPA had not granted approval for the heliport’s construction but yesterday Adams clarified that permission was given for the helipad to be constructed but the second application, which deals with reclaiming part of the shorefront, is still being processed.
