How should the Brac develop?

Submitted by Nicky Watson on Wed, 08/19/2009 - 15:21

McKeeva Bush is holding an Economic Forum on the Brac Friday 28 August at the Aston Rutty Centre, 9:30am to noon. I know that there are lots of people who won't be able to get there - even people on the Brac will be at work at that time. So I've started this forum topic so everyone (including civil servants) can have their say.

Read one take on Brac tourism development here.

And some more opinions here.

Questions for McKeeva

THE CAYMAN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT’s
3 Year Budget Forecast (2010/2011 to 2012/2013)
Presented to:
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office
May 24th 2010
 
8. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROGRAM AND BORROWINGS
As a key aspect of its medium term strategy, the Government will limit expenditures on new and continuing capital projects to a total of CI$63.2 million over the three year period (this amount does not include the 3 major one-off projects, being the two high schools and the government administration building). Table 8.1 provides the financing needs for each year.
 
New & Continuing Capital expenditures
BT Wall – $2mil
Roads - $3mil
CBrac Roads – $1 mil
DTF marine base – $1.1 mil
Immigration finger printing - $0.9 mil
Gazetted Land Claims – $1 mil
Aircraft Hanger – $2.3 mil
Overseas medical Claims – $1 mil
Emergency Shelter Cayman Brac - $.9 mil
Total: $13.2 mil
 
Here is my first question, why is it that less than one month after presenting a three-year budget to the FCO showing $0.9 million for an Emergency Shelter on Cayman Brac, plans are submitted for an Emergency Shelter at ten times the original cost?
 
No disrespect to the people of Cayman Brac intended, but why are you building a luxury spa for a few hundred people at a time when the government is supposedly broke?
