ESPERANZA: 500 HOUSING LOTS FOR DISTRIBUTION

The distribution of five hundred house lots has begun in Esperanza Village, Cayo District. “The Hopeville Heights Development” is a housing project led by the Area Representative for Cayo Northeast, Honorable Orlando Habet, and targets first time land owners, single parents and one-income families. The development began after the government was able to identify a large portion of land that was a part of a land greed scheme under the previous administration.

According to Minister Habet, the government was able to assist in clearing the land, and the installation of the necessary infrastructure. The new land owners at Hopeville Heights will be required to give a minimal contribution to the cost of surveying and subdivision. To date, sixty five lots have been distributed with further distribution planned for the coming weeks.

Coordinator for the Hopeville Heights Development, Owen Codd, has been spearheading the ground works for this land distribution project. Codd has devised a pick-system that will provide transparency as each new land owner will get their lot number from picking a random number out of a box. This, according to Codd, will prevent any perception of favoritism or political favors.

The second set of lots to be distributed will be done at the Cayo Northeast Esperanza Office later this month.///
