Residents in the Lopinot area will have easier access to travel in and out of their community as a multi-million dollar road project has been commissioned in the area.
Minister Marvin Gonzales cut the ribbon on Wednesday to commission the Tony Ravine Road.
He noted that the road provides access not only to homes but also to farms in the area.
“This road was done just about a couple months ago. There were no major delays. No cost overruns, just a little complaint here and there. You must get that. But it was done in record time. So it is not just 2.3 or 2.4 million dollars, but it is an investment in the people of this community so that they can sustain themselves and to sustain their families.”
Chairman of the Palo Seco Agricultural Enterprises Limited, Junia Regrello, said the company managed the road construction and several other similar initiatives across the country.
“To date, we have successfully completed twenty-five projects, fourteen under Phase One and eleven under Phase Two. These figures are not just milestones; they are visibly measurable expressions of our commitment to national development.”
Mr. Gonzales said there is another important community project to be commissioned in the coming weeks.
“Two weeks from now, before the elections, we will commission the Lopinot Historical Site – a site that was out of commission for years, as you know. We would have installed lights on the Lopinot Road; as you know, we never experienced lights from Lopinot into Arouca. We did that.”
Minister Gonzales said there are more resources available for more projects in Lopinot, Surrey, and La Pastora.
