In anticipation of an infrastructural development boom from the oil sector coupled with government’s own expansion plans, Essequibo businessman Tamesh Jagmohan hopes by mid-2021 to begin operations at the 7,000-plus acres Mazaruni, Region 7 quarry he was recently issued a licence for.
With employment opportunities to be created for some 200 persons initially, Jagmohan says the Black Jaguar Investment Group Quarry (BJIG-Q) will ensure that the importing of stone is significantly reduced and the money from planned infrastructural projects goes back into the local economy.
“This project comes at the perfect timing given the anticipated infrastructural and construction takeoff we will see as a result of the oil and gas sector and government’s planned holistic development blueprint,” he told Stabroek News yesterday in an interview.
