Linden riverfronts to see massive development 

The riverfront areas of Mackenzie and Wismar, Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara- Berbice) are expected to benefit from massive development projects which will enhance and beautify the areas.
Minister within the Natural Resources Ministry, Simona Broomes who has responsibility for the projects, paid a visit to the sites on Wednesday where she met with local engineers and a designer to develop a blueprint, as she pointed out that the aim is to immediately put into action the vision of President David Granger on both the Mackenzie and Wismar shores.
The designer and engineers are expected to look at the riverfront space on both sides and provide feedback and advice.
“After this is done, the blueprint of course will be shared with the Town Council, the RDC, consultation with the residents around Linden to ask them if this is what they want us to do…”, Broomes explained as she noted that the projects will be designed and implemented with input from residents and the community’s officials.
The Head of State during a recent visit to the community had urged the development of such sites as tourist attractions. The projects on both shores are expected to have two different designs which will complement each other, Broomes said.
Additionally, the Minister said she has been meeting weekly with the regional and town officials to develop projects for the people of the region. Broomes added that the team will continue to visit all communities in Region 10 to listen to residents’ concerns. On Wednesday, the Minister also provided various communities with tools to perform self-help activities.
