They have Bermuda, thanks to Burt, in their control to do what they want. Forget the $75m guarantee, that is open ended, no wonder Curtis resigned. IMO he would have done better to resign as a PLP MP, and at least sit as an Independent.

In case you’re not paying attention, the construction industry has been hot since lockdown finished.

Just don’t build projects and conserve all the space.

We all know this is a done deal. Govt and the developers are just “listening” to what we have to say to placate those of us against it.

It is a project where the hotel seems an afterthought or it would have been open for this season. It is a project where Bermuda and Bermudians are giving up tax revenue from imports on the development and from the operation of the project and Bermudians are guaranteeing the debt. Bermudians are losing quite a large sum of money over the life of the tax concessions and getting no equity stake in the project. Where is the upside for Bermudians for our back door investment? Basically this project gets to happen for free and the profits will go overseas . It is taking an iconic property in Bermuda, and sucking the life out of it for a dollar that we will never see.

We do not get the true visual in these drawings.

Just look what they did to Shark Hole, with probably more plots like that still to de sold/developed. Shades of what is to come at SP. Money speaks more than trees.

Soon Bermuda will be full of multi million dollar houses that lie empty most of the time, and slowly will become gated communities. Talk about 2 Bermudas the PLP has created because of ego and greed.
