Charlestown Nevis (February 27, 2007)
The Nevis Island Administration is this week hosting a series of consultations with a number of organizations, community groups, the business sector and the general public. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss the counter proposals that were offered to Newfound Developers on the 600 acres of land.
On Monday February 26th, the Cabinet of the Nevis Island Administration met and held discussions with the Nevis division of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce at the Conference Room at Bath Hotel.
Following the meeting the Department of Information asked Premier Parry what his Nevis Reformation Party led-Administration hoped to achieve from these consultations.
“Everybody is aware that the Nevis Reformation Party [NRP] stated during its campaign that we were dissatisfied with what was negotiated and that it would be re-negotiated. We [NRP led-NIA] are in the process of doing that and we have been pretty successful up to now. We have met with the Chamber of Commerce today (Monday) and we discussed the matter in great detail. Tomorrow (Tuesday) we are meeting with other groups and we’ll have meetings down to Wednesday 28th February.
