Impending restoration projects, which are being spearheaded by various Georgetown constituency councillors at a total cost of over $57 million, are expected to see residents of the beneficiary communities make up 50% of the work force.
Town Clerk Royston King announced at a press conference yesterday that the City Council has received $57,688,022 from the Ministry of Communities for the execution of the projects in 12 of the 15 constituencies of Georgetown.
The sum is part of the $200 million budgeted in 2018 for the improvement of Georgetown. King explained that in December, 2017, the Council decided that $75 million of the budgeted sum would be dedicated to “much needed works in local communities.”
