The newly upgraded Anna Regina/Mainstay Airstrip in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) was officially commissioned on Friday, with an investment of over $220 million. This project aims to enhance connectivity in the region, bolster tourism, expand agricultural opportunities, and stimulate economic growth.
President Irfaan Ali emphasized the importance of airstrips, stating that they are essential for the region’s development and not merely luxuries. The airstrip’s upgrade is expected to facilitate better access for residents and visitors alike, promoting regional integration and economic activities.
The project was executed by multiple contractors, including Builders Hardware General Supplies and Construction, and ICAN Engineering and Construction. The commissioning of the airstrip is part of a broader initiative to improve infrastructure in Guyana, which is seen as crucial for fostering growth and development in various sectors.
Local officials and community members have expressed optimism about the potential benefits the upgraded airstrip will bring to the area, particularly in terms of increased tourism and agricultural exports. The government continues to prioritize infrastructure development as a means to enhance the quality of life for citizens and promote sustainable economic growth.
