Barbuda has moved from chronic underdevelopment to becoming a net contributor to the national economy, Governor General Sir Rodney Williams declared Thursday as he delivered the Throne Speech at the opening of Parliament.<\/p>

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

Sir Rodney said Barbuda had remained \u201ca diamond in the rough for more than 60 years,\u201d but that a series of major investments since 2014 had reversed its economic trajectory. He highlighted new hospitality projects\u2014including PLH, Rosewood, Louie Hill and Nobu\u2014as well as paved roadways, street lighting and new public infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Governor General, these developments \u201chave begun to transform Barbuda into net-contributor status,\u201d something he noted had never occurred since the creation of the Barbuda Council.<\/p>

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

He also pointed to the island\u2019s new international airport as a major part of that turnaround. Calling it \u201ca new International Burton-Nibbs Airport,\u201d Sir Rodney said it would be followed by \u201ca new seaport capable of receiving container ships, new roads, new green energy plants, new freshwater-producing sources, and new housing stock in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.\u201d<\/p>

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

A significant portion of the transformation, he said, came from long-delayed reforms to land tenure. Sir Rodney stated that by repealing the 2007 law and replacing it with \u201ca just and fair law that would provide title to those who have dwelled on plots of land for generations,\u201d the government ended an \u201cinjustice which previous administrations feared to change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that the nation\u2019s apex court had ruled definitively that \u201call land not privately owned in Antigua and Barbuda is the Crown\u2019s,\u201d a decision he said cleared the way for more secure investment and development.<\/p>

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

Sir Rodney said the progress was the result of \u201can unrelenting vision of a better Barbuda,\u201d crediting the persistence of national leadership in pursuing long-stalled reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With additional projects on the horizon\u2014including the planned seaport\u2014Sir Rodney said the transformation already underway is positioning Barbuda for sustained economic contribution for the first time in its modern history.<\/p>
