While announcing plans for the building of a 30,000-barrel oil refinery in Region Six, President Irfaan Ali on Friday also said that development projects slated for the Palmyra area, including the construction of a stadium, would begin before the end of the year.
Ali made the announcements at the Central Corentyne Chamber of Commerce’s Berbice Expo and Trade Fair, which has returned after a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19.
The expo, being held under the theme ‘Advancing food security through agricultural sustainability and innovation,’ will run until Monday evening.
