Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal during a recent visit to Region Six said that over 29,000 house lots have been allocated countrywide as the government is continuing on the journey to 50,000 – its five-year target.
In addition to this, the ministry is also looking at developing a new housing scheme in Molsen Creek, Upper Corentyne.
Croal last week told Stabroek News that his ministry has so far allocated some 29,000 house lots noting that there will be an upcoming exercise to add to that number, “that’s progressing well, a lot of the focus has been within regions four, and three because that is where most of the backlog is, and for Region Four it’s on the East Coast of Demerara because we are basically, saturated in terms of availability on the East Bank of Demerara.”
