'Grand Bahama needs grand plan for the years ahead'

GRAND Bahama Chamber of Commerce boss Greg Laroda is calling for major stakeholders here to come together to develop a “generational” plan for the island’s recovery, and its battered economy following Dorian. He stressed that the island is facing many challenges and uncertainties with no answers from anyone in authority to questions concerning Grand Bahama’s recovery. Mr Laroda believes that the government, Grand Bahama Port Authority, and the chamber must work together to come up with the best possible plan that will put the island on the right path to recovery. “What we need is a plan for the recovery of Grand Bahama,” he told The Tribune. “There are lots of different stakeholders doing lots of different things to assist with the recovery effort, but what I don’t see is those stakeholders like the government, GB Port Authority, and the chamber getting together and talking to each other about what is best for the island of GB and coming up with a strategic plan everyone can buy into – a plan that needs to be generational, not just a plan for the next three years.”
