ExxonMobil on Tuesday continued its community outreaches in Region Three with an open house event to engage and field questions from residents on the huge and controversial gas-to-energy (GtE) project.
Held at the Aracari Resort, Versailles, West Bank Demerara, the event saw a number of persons in attendance who were curious about not only what the project entailed, but the employment and other opportunities the project could offer.
“I live at Vriesland and farm and have cattle there. My concern was that we were hearing that (there is) going to be flaring (of gas at) the plant and the heat would burn and destroy the crops and was not good also for the cattle…,” resident Ivor Charles told Stabroek News.
