Pride raises concerns about Belair beach replenishing
BELAIR--St. Maarten Pride Foundation expressed concern Friday that there is a possibility that the sand being used for the ongoing replenishing of the Belair beach might have been contaminated. The foundation's vice president Rueben Thompson on Friday said apparently the sand being used is the same as that for the ring road project, which was dredged from the Great Bay harbour. He said the Great Bay area was a very busy shipping area and hull cleaning and painting took place in some of the boatyards along the Great Bay shoreline.[More....]
OPEN LETTER TO COMMISSIONER THEODORE HEYLIGER.
SMNN - This letter is in response to comments made by Commissioner Heyliger regarding the beach replenishment news article that appeared in the Daily Herald on Wednesday March 3, 2010.
In my email to Commissioner Heyliger I explained to him that on Tuesday morning, several trucks were seen hauling sand on the Belair Beach. At first I thought the trucks were stealing sand, so I placed a call at 7;30am to one of the ROB Inspectors.
Big Holes and Barren Wastelands
Some may not have noticed, but last week an Auction Notice appeared in the papers which included one of the lots of the Barbaron Development. One can only wonder how this affects the project and the people who have laid out 10% down payments. No surprise to me though, I saw troubling signs about 20 months ago. No surprise at all.
I did find it quite funny though that in a recent article about how our real estate agents are optimistic, Peyton Cromwell complained about having to 'wait forever' for permits. The guy rarely waits for permits, nor does he adhere to them when he does get them.
Let's not even talk about the barren wasteland created by the 'Environmental Development' of Indigo Bay. The first units were scheduled to be handed over in the summer of 2009 as as far as I can see, no concrete has been poured yet. Yeah, I saw that bs for what it was too.
And has anyone noticed how the scandal of Building Permits has just dropped off the radar?

A Certain Sense of Impending Disaster in Bel Air
Have you gone to the beach next to Bel Air recently, where you can clearly see the massive amount of excavation done to the hillside just north by Barbaron for its new "development"?
Barbaron has carved out a massive quantity of hillside: my guess is many thousands of metric tonnes of hillside are gone, shipped to somewhere on the French side.

Dream Dream Dream
The US housing market meltdown must certainly have an effect on SXM´s real estate ´boom´ but of course being SXM there are no reports or reliable figures which can be used to refer to. All we have are rumors and there are plenty of them, some from real estate agents who tell me that sales are lousy right now.
