Another batch of Berbicians allocated lands at Experiment, Region Five were taken on a lot identification exercise on Wednesday by the Surveys Unit of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA).

A release from the CHPA yesterday said that the batch included low-income earners, who were able to place  their name on their lands as a symbol of ownership and can now move ahead with construction. The majority were accompanied by family members and close friends, as they stated that the activity represented a major milestone.

For Tracy Jarvis, it signals the ending of her days as a tenant, CHPA said. She stated that she is currently renting a home, which has been strenuous. As such being able to now move forward with construction lifts a major burden off her shoulders.

Father of two, Marlon Semple, was also pleased to be a part of the process. He said the land is a “great start” for his family and he plans to construct his home as soon as possible.

Experiment has close to 500 house lots. Construction of culverts, access roads, and drainage networks are all a part of the area’s first phase of infrastructure works.

The identification process is being done in phases. Other allottees can expect to be called for a similar exercise in the following weeks.
