180 former Petrotrin workers receive residential lots

The Land Settlement Agency has distributed 180 residential lots to former Petrotrin workers.

Applicants were selected via a computerized random draw.

At a ceremony this morning for the draw, Housing Minister Camille Robinson-Regis said over 250 former workers have already received lots.

She added that more lots are being developed.

According to the Housing Minister, each lot was developed at a cost of $180,000.

This follows a Cabinet decision for the workers to receive residential and agricultural lots following the closure of the refinery.
