Port Kaituma to see new housing development

Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal recently visited ‘Tract PK’, the site earmarked for the new Port Kaituma, Region One, housing scheme.
The development forms part of Government’s efforts to expand the national housing programme aimed at improving access to affordable and sustainable housing.

Since taking office in August 2020, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government has invested approximately $250 billion for housing infrastructure, which has facilitated the development of 95 new housing schemes countrywide.
This push in the housing sector has allowed the administration to exceed its Manifesto target of delivering 50,000 house lots to Guyanese by the end of its first term.

Port Kaituma is also reportedly halfway through ongoing rehabilitation of its roads, with $702 million invested into the community to convert 2.4 kilometres (km) of laterite roads into concrete surfaces.
Among the roads under rehabilitation are the Magistrates Court Road, Fitzburg Playground Road, the Kaituma Hospital Road and the Port Kaituma Airstrip Road, which also includes the construction of auxiliary parking facilities.
When complete, the thoroughfares will link seamlessly with Telegraph Hill Road, Ranch Road, and Teacher’s Quarters Road, which were recently modernised in a similar process.
