PM Signals Possible Extension for Shell Beach Investment Deadline
The January 30 deadline for investment submissions under the Shell Beach development may be extended amid strong public interest, Prime Minister Gaston Browne said Saturday.
Speaking on Pointe FM’s Browne and Browne programme, Browne said the level of interest in the project has been significant, prompting the government and National Asset Management Company (NAMCO) to consider adjusting the timeline.
“Given the level of interest, we may have to extend it,” Browne said, referring to the January 30 cutoff date for proposals.
He said NAMCO is assessing submissions and public response to determine whether an extension would allow more prospective investors to participate.
“There has been strong interest,” Browne said, adding that the objective is to ensure broad participation, particularly by ordinary Antiguans and Barbudans.
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.
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.
The prime minister said the possible adjustment reflects the government’s intent to balance timelines with accessibility, especially where public demand is high.

This is what am saying Gaston brown is not genuine, the situation from since emancipation is that white people who had operated an extractive economies for 400 years was still compensated for losing their property which was our ancestors, so they have a head start economically and ethnically ahead of us the local black people who barely had clothes on our back on emancipation day, there is no financial institution put in place to help us, except been exploited by consumables loans from financial institution to purchase cars, just as how they he black government could give concessions to white monopoly capital domination where they sometimes give them hundreds of acres of lands for one eastern Caribbean dollar and tax concessions into perpetuity, why not start internal reparations for slavery internally do we can influence it externally to happen, by giving the black Antiguans that go back three generations economic reparations? Gaston knows he is just bull $hitting the black natives of this country.
