Senator Milton Gbehzohngar Findley announced that the capital of Grand Bassa County, Buchanan City will be powered by electricity before the end of 2025.
This marks a significant milestone in the county’s development efforts, which have long been hindered by a lack of reliable energy infrastructure.
Speaking during an interview recently, Senator Findley assured residents that the government has made significant progress in securing funding for the long-awaited electrification project.
“I can assure the people of Bassa that we have managed to secure the funds to bring electricity to Buchanan, and this will be realized before the end of 2025,” he said.
The senator’s statement has been met with optimism by local residents, who have struggled with the economic and logistical challenges posed by the lack of consistent power.
Businesses, schools, and healthcare facilities in Buchanan have faced significant limitations over the years due to their reliance on costly and unreliable energy alternatives.
Senator Findley acknowledged these challenges and reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for Grand Bassa County’s development.
“I understand the struggles our people face daily because of the lack of electricity. This project is a priority, and I am determined to see it through,” he emphasized.
According to the senator, the government’s decision to allocate funding for the project in the national budget reflects a growing recognition of the need to address critical infrastructure gaps in underserved regions.
The funds will reportedly go toward constructing the necessary facilities and distribution networks to deliver electricity to Buchanan.
Local leaders and residents have hailed the announcement as a positive step toward improving living standards and fostering economic growth in the county. Many expressed hope that the timeline set by Senator Findley will be met, as the electrification of Buchanan could serve as a catalyst for further development projects in the region.
The project’s successful implementation would mark a turning point for Grand Bassa County, enabling local businesses to expand, improving educational resources, and enhancing healthcare services.
For now, all eyes are on Senator Findley and the government to ensure that the ambitious promise is kept.
