The construction of a 150-room hotel and conference centre, under an international franchise brand, is planned for Houston, Greater Georgetown.
The project, which is being developed by Caribbean Green Building Inc, a Guyanese company linked to an American company, does not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said via notice last week.
“The EPA concludes that there are no significant impacts nor is the project deemed environmentally sensitive. Impacts arising from the construction and operational phases of the project are minor, localized, and acceptable,” the EPA said in its environmental impacts screening decision.
