Redevelopment plan Port of Nassau
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Perry Christie addressed Bay Street stakeholders at a meeting to update them on the status of EDAW'S proposal for Bay Street. As part of the redevelopment plan in the area The Port of Nassau and support facilities may be moved from the current downtown location to South-West New Providence.
Mr. Christie stated that assurances have been provided to his Government that the relocation of the Port will be environmentally sound. The project will include five phases and is expected to extend from Arawak Cay to Montague, while dividing the area into three districts consisting of "The Garden District" that will encompass Arawak Cay to Armstrong Street, "The Heart of Nassau" which will be the downtown area and the "Living Waterfront".
