Re: Cupecoy Yacht Club
Anonymous (not verified) | Fri, 2008-04-25 16:57
Question to you: will the project developers of Cupecoy Yacht Club / The Cliff / Caravanserai / Westin etc. etc. contribute towards the infrastructure upgrading? It's mostly their projects that have caused more congested roads, right? Without those projects the island's roads will still be quite congested but not as much as with these projects.
The big developers throw money towards the commissioners offshore accounts (just like in the US where the Clinton's having their offshore haven in the Caymans) and in turn they get carte blanche. They can do what they want, when they want. If we would have a government with any cojones, then they would demand the big developer's to pay their portion towards an upgrade in the infrastructure, electricity / water company, garbage collection etc. etc.
It easy to talk about how to upgrade, but it's really about finding a way to be mutually responsible for a sustainable future for SXM.
