So, tell us, what new industries are options for Linden? As I said, why don't you make a proposal to the GoG.
I already discussed alternate options. The manufacturing sector in Guyana is stymied because electricity is bvery expensive. If Linden has cheap electricty and has/or used to have a pool of skiled workers, then with tax incentives, it can become an industrial zone for Guyana. Ditto for warehousing.
This is what we should be talking about. Not a strategy based on helping people eke out a living making baskets or whatever nonsensen the LEAP program was involved witrh,and thinking that this will rescue a town of 30,000 people, few of whom now work in bauxite.
The govt of GY needs to get off their butts and allow the Brazilians to build the highway that was promised. Looking at that Guyana feature on Discovery you ought to be embarrassed as a Guyanese at the condition of the main road to the interior, given the economic importance of the gold/diamonds sector to the economy.
