Engineering firm, International Global Development, is seeking approval to build 100 homes on Barbuda which was ravaged by hurricane Irma more than two years ago.<\/p>

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

Two representatives of (IGD), led by its President, and accompanied by a representative from Barbuda, were invited to Cabinet to share their ambitions for raising money to be utilized for the building of 100 houses, a shelter, or a police station on the sister island.<\/p>\n

The IGD representative reportedly explained that they were seeking approval for the project from the Barbuda Local Government for their undertaking.<\/p>

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

The government says charitable institutions that do good may not be able to raise money themselves, if they lack contacts with wealthy donors.<\/p>

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

“It was discerned from the discussion that IGD officials have special contacts with wealthy people who are prepared to provide resources, such that non-recourse loans can be accessed through their agency,” it was reported following Friday’s Cabinet.<\/p>\n

According to its website, IGD is a renowned engineering international firm\u00a0 whose main objective is to build stronger communities in the world through projects that have a direct positive impact on the community, the local economy and the environment.<\/p>

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

IGD\u2019s main strategies are (a) the creation of a project development team, including the participating governments, private sector, developers and investors, and (b) to seek gap financing sources for our clients from our network of internationally accredited finance sources.<\/p>\n

IGD\u2019s creative financing methods, highly efficient construction system\u00a0 and strategic alliances with experts in different industries puts IGD in a unique position to assist clients with their project on any soil, for any climate, by any design, on any budget, anywhere in the world.<\/p>
