The Linden community will continue to benefit from the investments of Parika businessman Rory Chetram –a housing scheme and zinc manufacturing plant.

Prime Ministerial Representative to Linden, Vladimir Glasgow met with the businessman late last week and indicated that the initiatives have brought both development and jobs to the community.

During the meeting, Glasgow was given a preview of the businessman’s ongoing projects currently underway in Linden. The housing scheme, situated at Amelia’s Ward, is the first such private initiative in the Linden community.

Glasgow said he met with Chetram in an effort to get an overview of the housing scheme which caters for approximately 32 homes for low-, medium- and high-income earners.

“I’m happy to see investors coming to invest in the beautiful town of Linden and I’m encouraging other investors around Guyana and Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) to come on board and develop this beautiful Region,” he noted.

The housing scheme is expected to have security, a hot spot and gardens.

Chetram is also involved in the manufacturing of zinc sheets in the community which are then sold to wholesalers in and around Linden and Region 10. This manufacturing section was also visited by Glasgow, who stated that the businessman is also planning to invest in the packaging of cement in Linden.

“So that is also something else on the drawing board, but what it’s doing is creating employment for Lindeners. He would have explained to me that his customers are the hardware stores in Linden and he tries to have them all set a standard…he’s actually investing in another machine to manufacture more zinc and he has been getting a good response from the community and the Region,” Glasgow outlined.

He added that he welcomed the investment and was encouraging businessmen and women to invest in the community especially those with commercial lands.
