Ministry issues second warning of attempts to undervalue, sell city properties

The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has again warned of what it said appears to be a “nefarious scheme”  by some members of the Georgetown City Council to undervalue and rapidly dispose of city properties.

In a statement yesterday, the ministry said that it and other “relevant governance bodies continue to monitor very closely, actions by some members of the Georgetown City Council”.

The ministry said that the properties are of significance in the “historical and other structural aspects of the city’s landscape, some of which form part and parcel of its recorded cultural heritage inventory”.
