The government’s nationwide infrastructure development programme continues with construction soon to begin on a 1.2-kilometre stretch of road in White Water Village, in the Mabaruma sub-district of Region One, a Department of Public Information (DPI) release informed last Saturday.
The DPI stated that close to 50 skilled and unskilled residents, both men and women, will be employed directly by the Minis-try of Public Works on the project as labourers, sawmen, guards, welders and clerks. It added that the project, which totals some $200 million, will see close to $20 million being poured back into the community from labour costs within a three-month period.
