The Editor, Montserrat Reporter.
I heard on the local news yesterday evening and this morning that unless the private Sector agrees to contribute to our Port Development that the U.K. or DFID will not support the Port Development in Montserrat.
I would like to know who is the private sector that His Excellency is referring. Is it local, regional or international investers that is being referred. My understanding is that a total of 50Million US is required for the Port Development. Again Is the governor referring to the 3 Bay concept linking Rendervous Bay, Little Bay and Carr’s Bay in phases as was originally discussed or is this 50Million US is for development of the Carr’s Bay Port?
This statement is contrary to the sustainable Development of Montserrat as we do not have proper access to the island since the onslaught of volcanic activities and other disasters that have impacted negatively on the island
Grateful for some clarification as I would like to know if His Excellency statement includes the banks, MDC, truckers, hoteliers, business owners, restaurants, hucksters, and everyone else on the island.
Your kind clarification would be appreciated.
