FREEPORT, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas – The Ministry for Grand Bahama has scheduled a week of activities from July 3 to 10, to encourage residents to come back home, said Minister for Grand Bahama the Hon. Ginger Moxey said during a press conference on Friday, July 28 at the Harold DeGregory Building.
Being held under the theme, “Welcoming Home GB” there are a variety of events to not only ensure the week is fun-filled, but also entertaining.
Having previously stated that Grand Bahama is on the move, Minister Moxey said that not only are there approximately $2 billion in investments on the island, but new businesses are also opening. During this month’s African Export-Import Bank annual meeting, an agreement was signed to bring the Afro-Caribbean Marketplace and Logistics Center which “will position Grand Bahama as a beacon of international trade.”
“We want to encourage our people to take advantage of the opportunities that are here, but we also recognize that Grand Bahama had a population of about 55,000 to 60,000 people and it’s now down to about 47,000.”
