Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation
Brief History
With the mission statement of “We pledge to Empower and Uplift Every Burgess leaving No One Behind”, the Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation envisions itself to be a responsible, dynamic, people-focused organization dedicated to providing efficient, effective services and facilities to the communities it serves.
The origins of this Corporation can be traced back to the Municipal Corporations (Amendment) Act No. 8 of 1992 which merged some of the regions to make nine Regional Corporations, reducing the number of Municipal Corporations from 18 (eighteen) to (14) fourteen.
