Residents of Bartica will soon be the beneficiaries of a state-of-the-art ‘green’ market when the current facility undergoes major rehabilitation works in a few weeks.
“We also intend [that] it not just be a place for selling goods and acquiring products that you need, but we also want to ensure that our marketplace can be a tourism point within our municipality, “ Bartica’s Town Clerk, Phebe Wallerson was quoted as saying in a recent interview with the Department of Public Information (DPI).
According to a DPI press release, Wallerson said that the estimated cost of the works which will commence in few weeks is $20 million, and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year. The Town Clerk noted that the Region Seven market had been neglected for some time now.
