Transpark could be a solution for logistics on Gonave and Haiti

A multi-modal transpark could work very well on Gonave.  What is a transpark?  A transpark is an industrial park that connects different modes of transportation to ship goods.  Many times these transparks will have office buildings as well.

How can Gonave benefit from this?  Well and ideal transpark would be about 500 acres that would connect the entire island with rail and via roadway.  Therefore non-transpark jobs can be disbursed throughout the island.  This benefits the whole island, not just one area.  The transpark would also transport goods via air, so an airport could be built on the border of the transpark.  In addition to the airport would be a seaport.  Again, goods can be brought in and shipped out. 

A transpark allows companies to have tremendous flexibility when it comes to logistics.  When you look at an island that lacks key infrastructure, a transpark makes a lot of sense.  Initially the 500 acre park can be connected with an airport.  This airport will serve as a passenger and cargo hub.  So you create a dual purpose for this facility.  Next the transpark should have some sort of training facility for workers.  Many times companies will locate to an area even if the population has no experience in the goods it makes, if there is a training facility available.  The transpark should have plenty of water and electrical power that is dedicated to the site.  This again is a major insurance policy that can be very attractive to companies.

This transpark will mainly focus on manufacturing, which can be anything from breweries to barge building.  This is something that can make Gonave the hub of logistics in the Caribbean.

Go Gonave!

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

Image
La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Bahamas, then it would serve as

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day, and show a bright fu

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that is true, it can help with jobs, a
