President Irfaan Ali has promised “major transformational development” in the coming years in Linden, Region Ten.

According to a release from the Department of Public Information, the president made this announcement while engaging residents of Linden at the Christianburg Community Centre ground. He was accompanied by Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hugh Todd, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Nigel Dharamlall, and technical officers.

Major projects in the pipeline, Ali told residents include the construction of a national stadium as well as a synthetic track and field facility at the Bayroc Community Centre Ground, Wismar, the release said. Recreational spaces, footpaths, and roads leading to schools, health centres, and other public spaces will be upgraded. “Whether it is the fence, grading and shaping the ground, bringing the facility up to standard, this year we are going to fix all the grounds associated with schools in Region Ten,” the release quoted him as saying.
