PM Signals Possible Extension for Shell Beach Investment Deadline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The January 30 deadline for investment submissions under the Shell Beach development may be extended amid strong public interest, Prime Minister Gaston Browne<\/strong> said Saturday.<\/p>

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

Speaking on Pointe FM\u2019s Browne and Browne<\/em> programme, Browne said the level of interest in the project has been significant, prompting the government and National Asset Management Company<\/strong> (NAMCO) to consider adjusting the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven the level of interest, we may have to extend it,\u201d Browne said, referring to the January 30 cutoff date for proposals.<\/p>

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

He said NAMCO is assessing submissions and public response to determine whether an extension would allow more prospective investors to participate.<\/p>

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

\u201cThere has been strong interest,\u201d Browne said, adding that the objective is to ensure broad participation, particularly by ordinary Antiguans and Barbudans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shell Beach project is designed to expand local involvement in tourism-related investment, including Airbnb-style accommodation, through a mix of beachfront and inland lots supported by government concessions.<\/p>

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

Browne said any decision to extend the deadline would be communicated by NAMCO, noting that the agency is responsible for managing the process and evaluating proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime minister said the possible adjustment reflects the government\u2019s intent to balance timelines with accessibility, especially where public demand is high.<\/p>
