Freeport,
Grand Bahama Island - The Bahamas Weekly is pleased to present herewith an engaging 
interview with Grand Bahama attorney-at-law,

Maurice Glinton as he discusses the Hawksbill Creek Agreement signed
August 1st, 1955; the agreement  has a 99-year lifespan that expires in 2054. The

Hawksbill Creek Agreement

was
made between the Government of the Bahamas and Mr Wallace Groves to
establish a city and free trade zone on Grand Bahama Island

Glinton also presents
background information on Freeport Power, and how it operated under the umbrella of
the Port Authority. "Only the Port Authority had the right to construct
and operate utilities. The electricity which was produced, all with
duty-free imported fuels, was confined for usage in the Port area,
nowhere else. It was not supposed to be a profit centre."
