Minister of Finance, Hon. Camillo Gonsalves while appearing on the Issues at Hand radio program provided some insight as to when work is set to begin on the Buccament Bay resort.
“It’s difficult to say because of COVID. I would have that the demolition works will begin in another three months are so, but the actual construction of the hotel is very dependent on when flights become regular and transit becomes regular because they have a lot of architects that have to come in to be with the site” Gonsalves said.
Minister Gonsalves said that the demolition works will be carried out by local contractors.
