By Nekoyan Bain
ST. GEORGE, Grenada, JUNE 06TH, 2011 - A Surinamese-based Engineering and Investment Company has expressed interest in working on the National Athletics Stadium and Grenville Port, as well as getting involved in housing and agricultural development.  
News of the company’s interest came following a two-day fact-finding visit to Grenada by officials of the company, Nish & Vish Ltd.  
“We have a strong finance background so we can support all our projects on our own,’’ said Avinaash Bisnajak, Senior Engineer with Nish & Vish.
He and other company team members met with officials from the Ministry of Housing, Lands & Community Development; Ministry of Sports; Ministry of Tourism; Ministry of Works; and the Ministry of Carriacou & Petite Martinique Affairs.
In terms of housing, Bisnajak said Nish & Vish “came to a point that we will go for two of the housing sites that are comfortable in our mind.”  
The two housing sites proposed for development by the company are Grand Bacolet and La Force, which are both in St. Andrew.
Minister of State in the Ministry of Housing, Lands & Community Development, Sen. Glen Noel, said he is comfortable with the sites chosen by the company.
Attempts to meet the housing needs of Grenadians, including those from the middle- and upper-income brackets, are channelled primarily through the Ministry and Housing Authority of Grenada.
