The Ministry of Public Works’s Special Project Unit will build the new airstrip at Matthews Ridge, Region One, at an approximate cost of $800 million and residents of the community will be hired during the process.
This was clarified to the Sunday Stabroek by Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill following a report from the Department of Public Information (DPI) that the residents of Matthews Ridge would be building the airstrip.
Edghill told this newspaper on Friday that the ministry’s Special Project Unit will be building the airstrip and residents will be hired at different levels, both skilled and unskilled.
