## Resource

Construction kicks off on a $1.3 billion modern market in Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo — designed to transform street vending into a safe, organized, and vibrant commercial hub. With space for over 90 vendors (up from 54), the facility features kid-friendly play areas, training rooms, ample parking, taxi bays, and dedicated zones for fresh produce, meat, fish, and prepared foods. Modern amenities like clean restrooms and waste systems will elevate hygiene and safety. The Minister of Local Government ceremonially turned the sod, signaling part of a broader regional push to build or upgrade markets across the territory by year’s end — all managed through transparent, competitive bidding with GR Engineering leading the consultancy.
