Residents accept Gaboo Lands offer

The Gaboo Lands Rationaliza¬tion Project involves the subdivision of the land into 34 residential lots.

Residents of Gaboo Lands at Morne du Don are now certain about the future of the unplanned development.
Min­ister for Physical Development, Housing, and Urban Renewal, Hon. Stanley Felix, convened a com­munity meeting with Morne du Don residents last Thursday to provide in­formation concerning the status of the Gaboo Lands Rationaliza­tion Project.
The project, initiated and funded by the Government of Saint Lucia, involves the subdivision of the land into 34 residential lots in accor­dance with the approved ratio­nalization plan for the area.
On May 12, offer letters were distributed to existing residents for land ownership and pay­ment options for the purchase of the aforementioned lots. Residents attended in large num­bers and after being presented with the various options, each opted for a solution that best fit their needs.
Following the meeting, residents said they were satisfied that the min­istry had taken their current and future needs into consideration. They now look forward to be­ing able to plan their futures.
