Forging ahead with its plan to relocate the Enmore Packaging Plant, the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has advertised for the construction of a building to house it at the Albion Estate in Berbice.
In an advertisement in yesterday’s Guyana Chronicle, the sugar corporation invited qualified companies to submit bids for the construction of the building to house the packaging plant.
The plan to lease the building housing the packaging plant to an oil and gas enterprise has prompted questions about the fate of the East Demerara sugar estate and the decision-making of the government and GuySuCo. There had been no prior notification to the public that the building housing the plant would be transformed into a machining shop and major stakeholders such as the sugar union, GAWU were caught by surprise.
