CABINET NOTES:
Robert Dinero has already planted a Nobu restaurant on Barbuda and is planning to expand his investment by building a 5-Star Nobu Resort beginning early next year.
Barbuda will become a place for high-net-worth visitors from all around the world. The new Airport Terminal, a new FBO, and a new runaway capable of accommodating jets as large as the Boeing 727, will be able to land on Barbuda.
The future of Barbuda is great, the Minister of Tourism declared.
The PLH Project is currently under construction on Barbuda; more than 600 workers are employed there, building private homes, bungalows and multiple suites. The project is worth more than $2 billion dollars.

It is extremely encouraging to see that Barbuda is being catapulted into becoming a self sustainable island. This allows for the central government to free up its obligation to providing a subvention to the sister island by now, only being responsible
for paying essential government employees.
The ongoing confrontational discourse between the council and the central government will be eased.
People will be happier in time to come. We cannot remain stagnant and expect change that is sustainable or productive.
There is sufficient land space in Barbuda away and apart from the domiciled areas of the locality. The people there are so far removed from the resort construction.
When I visited there a few ago, I was utterly flabbergasted by the distance between the communal areas and PLH and Paradise Found projects respectively.
The Bird Sanctuary is undisturbed as well. The time has come for real change. A paradigm shift, for that matter.
Thankfully, the court of last resort legitimized the dispelling of the land myth so that Barbuda can now thrive with the central government’s assistance working along with the council for the betterment of island.
I intend to visit there again in a few months.
Cheers
Is everyone asleep?
No Dave, everyone isn’t asleep.
I think our main concern is that Barbuda may become a rich man’s playground and the indigenous population on both islands do not want this to happen, and may be priced out.
Like you, I always enjoy the tranquility of Barbuda, but worry about the island becoming exclusive only to the rich and famous.
Our Prime Minister has already made a commitment to Robert Dinero and his financial consortium, so hopefully he’s done his due diligence (however Gaston’s previous record isn’t very good).
Anyone heard Liard Frank this morning on Darren Matthew Ward show? Darren asks him what he thought about this new project. He said for eight years they have done nothing. Totally ignoring that it’s because of the lawsuit he brought against the project, which he and Walker lost in the Privy Council. Those guys are barefaced liars. And then he also spread lies that Barbuda pays higher electricity cost per Kwh than Antigua. Glad someone at APUA was listening and put the record straight. You hear lie.
Yes, I was wondering how Sen McKenzie Frank could have been so boldface to suggest that Dinero did nothing when it’s because of his group’s action that turned off Dinero from doing anything further. Being tied up in court cannot be encouraging for any investor. Let’s trust the system this time.
More American degeneracy exported for the sake of a few dollars. Maybe we will get that oceanfront McDonald’s everyone’s been begging for.
American degenaracy? Who’s that? I travel to South Korea quite regularly (before the pandemic) and I must tell you that Robert Dinero has quite a few restaurants and a hotel chain in Asia. I had a chance to dine at one of his restaurants in Daejon and the food is pricey but high quality. There are many commercials on Asian TV daily that America will never see. He is heavily marketed in that part of the world.
