Work is forging ahead on the transformation of the East Demerara Sugar Estate lands and former Enmore packaging plant into an industrial zone and machining project, respectively, with a bridge and some roads nearly complete while repairs to the plant have commenced.
The Sunday Stabroek visited the area on Friday for an update on the project that government says will transform the East Coast into a business and housing development zone equipped to provide ample jobs and homes for residents of the area.
Some 661.78 acres of the former estate lands will be converted into an industrial zone that will see factories producing a range of products, aimed at making Guyana competitive in manufacturing, and the infrastructure is currently being developed to facilitate this, President Irfaan Ali has said.
