Massive infrastructure upgrades in Region 6 (East Berbice–Corentyne)—including 612 road contracts, a four‑lane New Amsterdam–Moleson Creek highway, a new deep‑water and Berbice Port, a bridge, and airport and stadium projects—have generated around 5,000 jobs from November 2024 to March 2025, plus an additional 1,000 jobs with the upcoming US $285 million Berbice Port build.
