Following the award of $130 million in contracts for rehabilitation works in several communities including High Dam, Caracas, West Canje, Minister of State, Joseph Harmon recently visited a number of East Berbice projects.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency on Friday said that Harmon visited to ensure that the community members are involved during the construction process.
At High Dam, Caracas, the release said that residents voiced relief that the road in that area would finally be paved. However, several of them raised other concerns that needed to be addressed in the area, including the need for a recreational centre for children, the installation of street lights, and the easing of flooding that occurs in the area.
