THE Guaracara refinery could resume operations within a year if all goes as planned, according to Jai Leladharsingh, coordinator of the Confederation of Regional Business Chambers, who confirmed that funding discussions are currently under way.

Leladharsingh’s comments follow a meeting held on Wednesday between several trade unions and the business chambers to chart a collaborative path toward restarting the refinery under the new United National Congress (UNC) Government.
