Linden to get community app

Linden Mayor Carwyn Holland has announced a soon to be launched ‘Linden app’, which is expected to provide details of numerous aspects relating to the Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) community. Holland made the disclosure while addressing residents and officials at the recently held Linden Trade and Investment Fair last week.
The Mayor also related plans to have the app launched at the upcoming Linden Town Week event. Providing insight into the app, Holland said information relating to the community’s flora, fauna, festivals, restaurants, hotels, recreational spaces, picturesque landscapes, public offices as well as fun activities will be made accessible. Additionally he said information on the community’s hospitals, religions, elderly care, youth employment and various other resources will be made availability in the palms of users’ hands. Holland added that via the app, Linden’s products can be advertised both locally and internationally.
“I am proud to announce the development of an app for mobile and android devices, that exposes the wealth of Linden, both locally and internationally,” he said.
He noted that he also believes that the initiative will be very beneficial to youths who are in search of jobs, as well as elderly people in the community who are in need of care.
“This app has the potential to tap into over 200 or more jobs. Our elderly need better home care. Our tourism is ready for take-off. Our farm products can be made ready for overseas shelves and it’s time Linden retake its rightful place as the standard bearer of Guyana’s economy,” he said.
Holland further stated that Linden’s journey to becoming the “strong capital town” which the President envisions must include green, entrepreneurial initiatives such as the soon to be launched ‘Linden app’, while he expressed his hope for the full support and tangible blessings of Government.
