Gov't halts CGB Sea Defense Project amidst controversy
The cost of the project is unknown, however, one of two contractors told our newsroom that he had signed a contract with the Ministry of Finance to build a wall to stop the ground sea from damaging the road.
However, today Friday, February 8, 2019, in a public bulletin, Government spokeswomen, Bria A. Smith said, “The Government of the Virgin Islands is advising the public that the Cane Garden Bay Sea Defense Project has been temporarily suspended.”
Stop all works
According to the notice, “The decision has been made in an effort to assess the scope of the project to facilitate the construction of a sea defense barrier along a section of the Cane Garden Bay coastal road.”
In our Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) story of February 6, 2019, we reported that both the Ministry of Natural Resources and Labour and the Town and Country Planning Department could not confirm that the project was approved by their agencies.
