Maybe they'll buy the corner lot at Village Rd and Wulff Rd. Would be a nice spot for a big car dealer and would look much better than the disaster area that the road construction crew left there, and the old foodstore that was left to rot before that...

Question is, will we still be paying $9,000 a month ($108,000 a year) for the Governor General to live in a gated community somewhere else and not at "Government House" :/

They haven't been talking about it for years, they've been talking about it for decades. Everyone knows the problem yet we keep dancing around and changing the name of the downtown development board.

What happened to the aggressive plans to tear down the burnt out shells of buildings left to rot? We all can see those sites can't be restored and need to be demolished, we didn't need 8 million from the cruise port to send a backhoe and a dump truck to East Bay Street.

Some of the timeline outlined here by Larry Smith in 2015: http://www.tribune242.com/news/2016/a...

Like they said, its full of modern shipwrecks, garbage, and dead conch shells now. The more they can do to improve the area, the better. Can't have a marina with wrecks blocking half of the canal so they'll have to be removed and more security added to the general area.

I said the same thing. They hit the existing Air bnb market with so many hurdles, and added barriers for entry for new foreign and Bahamian applicants that I'm sure many are questioning whether it's worth it.

Shouldn't paint "charter boat" with such a broad brush. Live aboard Scuba boat? Sailing charter? Could have negative effect.

I've heard them on the radio a few times speaking about all the requirements they need to get and special licensing etc. Not sure about nat insurance but if they have everything else then it would be silly not to have nat ins.

Considering most schools are hurricane shelters, and the summer school repairs are always either delayed or incomplete, they need to start an audit and repair schedule yesterday. Also take a realistic look at these Hurricane shelters so people aren't put in more harm by sheltering in a building that is weaker/more vulnerable than their own home.

Most of the activity on these islands center around the coast and maritime affairs, are you just not going to rebuild places like Snappa's and the marinas there? What about the mass of foreign boaters that come in and you have no marina, no nearby restaurants, no food store, gas station, bank/atm near the water? As for the land, is the government then going to trade ya for Spring City land? And we really think prime coastal land will just remain untouched for decades, and not gifted to some foreign investor that plans a condo community on stilts or a massive floating dock marina?

What do they mean by getting "rid" of rental generators? Are they actually still returnable after this long & being run so hard? Can't be cheap sending them back to wherever they came from either. I just imagine something similar to you returning a car to Hertz after taking part in a demolition derby...
