A sod-turning ceremony is to be held today for a major resort along Carifesta Avenue despite outstanding questions on who has control over the lands to be used and why the government is taking up all of the green spaces in the city.
The ceremony will be for what is being described as the Georgetown Seafront Resort and Convention Centre at Carifesta Avenue, Plantation Thomas Lands, an initiative of a Qatari company, Assets Group Inc.
The Qatari investor plans to build a hotel which will have access to a boardwalk along the seawall from Camp Road to the Kitty roundabout and will do so on the Guyana National Service (GNS) and National Insurance Scheme (NIS) grounds.
