Transpark idea...again.



Gonave Transpark

http://letsbuildhaiti.blogspot.com/2013/12/creating-capital-or-administrative-city_7.html

I've talked with a few people who built the Kentucky Tranpark in Bowling Green.  This project has brought about 1,300 jobs, with only 4 facilities.  It also has a training facility that helps train staff at the various industrial companies.  The project was to include an airstrip, but that idea was shot down.  The park itself is ever evolving, and actually didn't cost the city a large sum of money.  

The park sells land to companies, which in turn will build their facility, and possibly get incentives for locating to the park and holding a specific number of employees.  

So would this type of thing work on Gonave?  Consider if the entire island was a Special Administrative Region of Haiti.  This plan would be the start of developing an economic base on Gonave.  Consider the idea of farms as well. I mentioned the transpark idea before, click here.

When you consider the contacts I have been getting about smaller businesses wanting to locate to Gonave, a Transpark could make sense.  What would it look like?

The Transpark would be an industrial park built on the island of Gonave.  At approximately 1,200 acres the park would contain rail, air, sea, and highways to build the economy of Gonave.  Designed to handle warehouses, heavy and light industrial companies, high tech firms, contact centers, research lab, and office space.

The park will also contain Innovate Gonave which will serve as a business incubator from research labs and a flagship university.   

In addition to Innovate Gonave, the Gonave Globalplex Seaport will allow cargo to be shipped in and out of Gonave.  The Globalplex will handle dry and wet goods, as well as refrigerated cargo. 

The rail system which eventually will link the entire island of Gonave would have it’s main maintenance facility in the transpark.  This rail system will allow goods to move freely throughout the island from many far distant places. 

Gonave Highway System will allow for not only people but goods to also move around the region.  Similar to the rail system, this system will be built in many phases.

A international airport will also be built in the Transpark, which will have a 2 mile runway.  Along with a passenger terminal, the airport will also have cargo facilities.

This transpark will model the Kentucky Transpark that is in Bowling Green, KY.  The major difference is the various modes for transporting goods and services.

If you look at the information I complied over last year, all of the things mentioned above tie in well and will start the development of the tiny island of Gonave.  Change is going to happen on Gonave, lets make sure it is the right change.

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 Baham...

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 i...

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,...
