Minister of Public Affairs, Kwame McCoy, recently inaugurated a new block-making facility in Swan village, located along the Soesdyke Linden Highway.
This initiative, costing 7 million dollars, aims to enhance local economic opportunities and community infrastructure.
In addition to the block-making facility, funded through government investments, Swan village also welcomed the commissioning of two sand trucks financed by the Low Carbon Development Strategy fund.
These developments are part of ongoing efforts to bolster economic sustainability and infrastructure in the Amerindian community.
Highlighting the government’s commitment to grassroots development, Minister Kwame McCoy emphasized that these investments are deliberate actions aimed at improving the quality of life for citizens.
He underscored the importance of strategic investments tailored to meet community needs and drive socio-economic progress.
Chairman of Swan, Finton Rajonauth, expressed optimism about the facility’s impact on employment opportunities, particularly for the community’s youth.
He noted that the new block-making facility would not only create jobs but also contribute to local development by fostering skills development and economic growth.
Moreover, the community benefits from a yearly presidential grant of 1 million dollars, which was recently utilized to construct essential sanitary facilities.
These investments underscore a broader governmental strategy to empower local communities and enhance infrastructure across Guyana.
Simultaneously, in Long Creek, another milestone was achieved with the commissioning of a multi-purpose building, further illustrating the government’s commitment to national and local development initiatives.
The commissioning of the block-making facility in Swan village marks a significant step towards sustainable development and economic empowerment at the local level, reflecting the government’s proactive approach to community-driven progress.
