Mayor Ubraj stated that the projects for the avenues are intended to generate funds for the Council through branding and advertising.
He further stated, “We had discussions with the Tourism Authority as well, with Impressions. With all these people we had discussions in 2019. These projects were birthed by the Mayor and City Council.”
According to the Mayor, the proposal was forwarded to Minister Patterson in 2019 who was the Public Infrastructure Minister under the APNU/AFC Administration. He is still to receive detailed documentation from the Public Works Ministry on the projects.
