Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill says some $30 million will be released to begin the first phase of the waterfront enhancement project at Wismar and Mackenzie in Linden, Region Ten.
On Friday, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said that the Minister engaged several stakeholders at the Watooka Guest House to identify works that could be undertaken to modernise the waterfront there.
“Whatever we do must be able to impact the people of Region Ten. It must bring immediate benefits to the people of Region Ten. We cannot do development in a way that doesn’t bring impact, and the policy direction that we are governed by … whatever we do must answer the felt needs and the desires of the people, no matter how small it is,” the Minister said.
