CABINET NOTES:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Cabinet invited the owner of a rented office building in St. John\u2019s that has remained<\/strong> unoccupied since the time of the past administration, to join the meeting; a Crown Counsel from the Ministry of Legal Affairs was also invited.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former CIBC building, situate at the corner of High Street and Corn Alley, owned by the Antiguan businessman, had been rented by the former administration and gutted but unused.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Nothing more was done until 2014, when an agreement was entered into with the new Gaston Browne Administration to acquire the building by way of unpaid taxes and other unmet obligations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The owner reneged.<\/p>\n

He has now returned to the Cabinet with a further proposal to exchange land which he owns elsewhere for a crown land with an ocean front.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The decision on the old building is put off for one week.<\/p>\n
