Can't look up a company called Grand Palm Beach Aquisitions LTD but ok.

Ginn Sur Mer 2.0 .............. Let us get this right from Day 1

When will anyone remember that The Bahamas still exists south of Nassau??????

Ridiculous ... neither the government nor this newspaper has deigned to tell us who these supposed $2 billion investors are, and whether they actually have two nickels to rub together. How many times — really, how many times — have we heard this stupid song before?

Ma Comrades, another Imperial red cabinet opportunity to plan ahead Missed Deadline in this red governing saga. Will the BS ever stop... before their most current economical fantasy comes a crashing down? I just don't believe anything they claim is around the corner... Yeah, Minnis and KP going in fuckin# circles... and trying take Grand Bahamians with them.

Hope its true, doubt it is. Every year we are told great things will happen on this project. Guess one day they will be right.

Grand Bahama is in desperate need of investment inflows. But in its haste to get things moving, government must be careful o avoid the problems that developed at Bah Mar or to sign on to investments that are not sustainable. With the US headed into a booming economy, there is no doubt that the Bahamas' economy will rebound within this year and the reviving of he Ginn project can be a good first start in getting Grand Bahama up and running.

Nothing said about chinese involvement in this project so far, They may just avoid the Baha Mar syndrome if they keep it that way !

Make sure check their pockets, Make sure they are no Bobby Ginn, Nine phases over ten years, While this staggered approach to the development is commendable, it also says alot about their finances. Will the earlier phases be used as leverage for the later phases.Things that make you go hummmm ! Ever heard of a development Ponzi scheme !

Comrade Johnny Fingers, looking back the much promised magic city Freeport, never materialized. The only unstoppable success provable is when the natives who were having tough personal economic times in Nassau - sailed their sloops in the dead night to escape reestablishing at daybreak upon landing on beaches Freeport. I actually have pictures of now years later very prominent natives landing on Freeport's beeches.
Time give the natives the same government breaks as they kiss the foreigners asses to accept... and it begins with ripping up the Hawksbill Agreement.
Foreigners bearing great economic promises have failed thousands Freeporters - they are not be trusted.
Secondly, establish a real local government with teeth and balls separate from the national government and reduce MP's to two sitting House of Assembly members. Screw appointing senator upper red chamber... send them sing their suppers away from the public purse. Never again appoint a deputy PM from Freeport.

So where is the Grand Bahama Port Authority in all this? The GBPA is supposed to promote business in the Port Area. They have done nothing for 10 years or more.

Government needs to find a new owner (with real money) and force the useless St. Georges and Haywards out.

West End is not in the Freeport area and does not come under the GBPA

What this country needs is a THIRD zone of development south of Nassau and not tourism based ....... The Freeport concept can be duplicated with better results if something is placed on the North-South industrial transit route via Windward Passage ........ This can piggyback on the Inagua salt industry, silicon, nano-technology and other allied chemicals-based industries. The southern Bahamas can produce tens of millions of pure solar salt and it is BIG business.

Who is planning for the DEVELOPMENT of the whole Bahamas???????

Those folks in the Pink Building do nothing but count the cars that pass in the street,
then they go to lunch and come back and count cars again If you do not believe me then ask
them what do they do all day?: besides collect big salaries..

Those folks in the pink building are the decendents of the visionaries who founded the port and the city of freeport. Second generation family members usually lack the vision of the founders so you are right in saying they collect big salaries. They are protectionist of their parents legasy. Hopfully some of the grand kids if educated properly will revive the vision if they are around !

Ma Comrade Rich kids Heirs to domain over Freeport, are living off family trust inheritance. Point one thing created or improved by their own wits? It's a fuckin# joke... but Freeporters, long stopped laughing

The Hawksbill Creek Act died in 1967!

Blah, blah, blah about peanuts. Where is the promised change in policy on the peoples' natural resources which would benefit every Bahamian?

Stop the Christie shuffle nonsense and get on with it!!

Has anyone noted the number of proposed opening dates announced for the Grand Lucayan Resort. I anticipate we'll soon hear that it will be open by spring break 2019. I'd LOL, but, I'll refrain in sympathy with the people of Grand Bahama.
