Developers of the planned Two Foot Bay Resort in Barbuda have assured the government that their construction methods will be capable of withstanding Category 5 hurricanes. The project, which will feature eco-friendly structures, is expected to take four years to complete.<\/p>

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

During the post-cabinet media briefing, Chief of Staff Lionel Hurst said the developers have opted for a construction method that does not rely on traditional concrete and steel foundations. Instead, they will use a specialized anchoring system designed to provide stability in high-wind environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe developers are spending $200 million on this project, and they have built similar structures in other hurricane-prone areas,\u201d Hurst said. \u201cThey are confident in their ability to meet the required safety standards.\u201d<\/p>

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

The Development Control Authority (DCA) will conduct a full review of the project\u2019s plans to ensure compliance with local building codes. Authorities have emphasized that all construction must meet regulations to protect against extreme weather, particularly given the increasing frequency of severe storms in the region.<\/p>

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

Barbuda has been the focus of several high-profile tourism developments in recent years, sparking debate over environmental sustainability and the impact on local communities. Officials say the project aligns with efforts to promote eco-tourism while ensuring that developments are resilient to climate-related challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction is expected to begin in the coming months.<\/p>
