Barbuda to benefit from increased development

Cabinet says the newest plans for River Dock on Barbuda will soon be undertaken following approvals.

International cargo vessels will be invited to discharge their containers directly on to Barbuda’s shores rather than discharging the freight in Antigua for onward shipment to Barbuda.

The Development Control Authority, the Ministry of the Environment, the Barbuda Council and other agencies will all be given the opportunity to examine the proposal and to provide their lawful input.
