President Irfaan Ali has proposed transforming New Amsterdam’s old Stelling into a modern waterfront boardwalk, featuring restaurants and entertainment options to draw evening and nightlife activity into the township.
“That is the type of opportunities we can create. And already, there is critical infrastructure that we built around New Amsterdam: the Palmyra Stadium, the Athletic Track – all of these things will bring people to New Amsterdam,” President Ali said.
The president shared the idea during a Model Village Initiative consultation at the Berbice High School in Region Six on Saturday. He pointed out that this will help position the town as a tourism destination.
