A public meeting was yesterday held for those persons whose lands will be acquired for public purposes to facilitate the laying of transmission lines for the Wales gas-to-energy project.
At the meeting, some 29 persons were called in to discuss the development plan, legal procedures, and most importantly, compensation for the lands they occupied. They were contacted beforehand and constituted the majority of individuals present at the meeting yesterday.
Those also present at the meeting included, Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat; Project Lead, Winston Brassington; Legal Advisor, attorney-at-law Ronald Burch-Smith; as well as personnel from the Ministry of Natural Resources.
