Prime Minister the Rt. Hon. Hubert Ingraham, accompanied by Housing Minister the Hon. Kenneth Russell, toured the $18.3 million Government Administrative Complex currently under construction on the Mall Drive in Freeport, on Saturday, September 18, 2010. The 65,000 sq.ft. complex will primarily accommodate The Bahamas Customs Department and the Immigration Department. The Ministry of Finance, including the Data Processing Unit, the Ministry of Education and the Passport Office will also be located in the new complex, slated for completion in 2011. The project has created over 250 construction jobs on Grand Bahama, and once completed, the additional office space available to Government departments will considerably enhance their ability to deliver efficient, effective service to the public.
