OFFICIALS TURN SOD SIGNALING START OF ANTIGUA CRUISE PORT UPLAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

The start of the buildout of the Antigua Cruise Port’s Upland Development Project is now imminent.  

Officials turned the sod earlier today to signal the start of the 40-million-dollar expansion.  The officials present included Governor General, Sir Rodney Williams; Prime Minister Gaston Browne; Tourism Minister, Charles Fernandez; Global Ports Holding’s CEO & Chairman, Mehmet Kutman; and Antigua Cruise Ports’ General Manager, Gasper George. 

The project will see the creation of modern waterfront day club featuring pools, local food-and-beverage outlets, and up to 100 retail spaces for local entrepreneurs. The new attraction will be accessible by cruisers, other visitors, and residents.

Construction is set to begin in March.
