The Mayor and Councillors of Georgetown yesterday launched their five-year vision for the transformation of the Stabroek area.

If realised, the ambitious Stabroek Redevelopment Project will see upgraded facilities for vendors, who would no longer be permitted to operate on the streets, and the creation of a public transportation hub, which would serve as the base of operations for the minibus and taxi operators who currently ply their trade from various spots.

Mayor Ubraj Narine stated that with government support, the project, which is envisaged as a public-private partnership, will take about five years to complete.
