INDEPENDENT PARLIAMENTARIAN PATRICK ILLIDGE WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO BUY MARY'S FANCY ESTATE. blogs j roumou

Parliamentarian Patrick Illidge has called upon government to purchase of Mary's Fancy Estate. He wants the plantation house to be renovated and the property to be converted into a botanical garden.
According to Illidge, dealing with government's decision to purchase Industry and Golden Rock Plantations (a.k.a Emilio Wilson estate), it is time to turn attention to the purchase of Mary's Fancy Estate. Patrick Illidge even suggested planting Guavaberries there- well that does make the most potent rum.
The purchase of Mary's Fancy could cost government up to US $2 million. The property is owned by the heirs of the late animal and community activist Elizabeth Reitz.
Illidge also emphasized job creation, especially for young single mothers.
His proposal, is for the creation of several small light industry-based businesses, such as a sewing centre, a laundry, a call centre and a number plate/street signage company.
Illidge asked government to indicate its willingness to pursue his light industry business ideas, as well as the purchase of Mary's Fancy Plantation. He is particularly interested in knowing how government will fit this into the some NAf. 88 million it intends to pursue in capital projects this year.
The MP has to wait until Thursday, when the meeting resumes, to get answers from government.
