More on Hurko's development plan for Gonave. /Plis sou plan devlopman Hurko a pou Gonave.



More information on the first Focus City, (Focus Site) on Gonave.  I have been in constant communication with Hurko Co to know what the plans are for Gonave.  Most of the intial investment from Hurko will be basic infrastructure.

As I mentioned in the last blog, the first areas of focus will be a two lane gravel road, and large 2 MW wind Turbines.  Hurko mentioned that due to the strong winds on the island, it made sense to take advantage of the wind currents.  Also along the two lane gravel road will be street lights based on LED technology.  So most of this project sounds very “Green” as it will use zero emission power technology, and powerful LED street lighting, which most American Cities don’t even use. 

I got more information yesterday on the plans.  Along the route will be a 1 to 2 mile heavy rail track using standard gauge 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) track.  It will be a single track line, only double track when near a rail station.  There will be one rail stop, and one rail station.  Details on the rail station was limited, and the company only mentioned that it would have a retail component to it.

The overall goal is to build a 6 mile track, of which this 1 to 2 mile line would be part of it.  The Focus City (site) will be along the eastern tip of the island initially.  Hurko Co. mentioned that there are three sites where such a focus city will be.  So this will put either Trois A L’eau or Petite Anse in the cross hairs of Hurko’s development.  While the development will not be exactly in either place, the Focus City development will be at least 1 to 2 miles from either area.

The initial development will have a brewery and contain some 6 different honey farms, 4-5 apple farms, and a 4-5 pinto bean farms.  Some 50 homes or apartments will be constructed.  A 100 room hotel resort would also be constructed.  Future developments will be to have a passenger, cargo, and vehicle port in the future. 

If all holds true, this will be a major development for Haiti, and Gonave.  This would be development that gives Gonave a sense of purpose, creating jobs, and being ahead of many areas in the region and world.  There is currently no timeline for when these projects will get started according to Hurko Co. 

Go Gonave!
----------------------
Plis enfòmasyon sou premye Konsantre vil la, (Konsantre lokal la) sou Gonave. Mwen te nan kominikasyon konstan ak Hurko Co konnen ki sa plan yo yo se pou Gonave. Pifò nan envestisman an intial soti nan Hurko yo pral enfrastrikti de baz yo.

  Jan nou konnen mwen mansyone nan blog ki sot pase a, zòn yo an premye nan konsantre yo pral yon wout de gravye liy, ak gwo 2 MW turbin Van. Hurko mansyone ke akòz van yo fò sou zile a, li te fè sans yo pran avantaj de kouran yo van. Epitou sou wout la de gravye liy yo pral limyè lari ki baze sou teknoloji ki ap dirije. Se konsa, pi fò nan pwojè sa a son trè "Vèt" jan li pral sèvi ak zewo teknoloji pouvwa emisyon, ak pwisan ekleraj dirije lari, ki pi Ameriken Vil pa menm sèvi ak yo.

  Mwen te resevwa plis enfòmasyon yè sou plan yo. Sou wout la pral gen yon tras ray lou 1 a 2 mil lè l sèvi avèk estanda kalib 4 pye 8 1/2 nan (1,435 mm) tras. Li pral yon liy tras sèl, se sèlman doub tras lè tou pre yon estasyon tren yo. Li pral fè yon sèl ray sispann, ak yon estasyon tren yo. Detay sou estasyon an tren te limite, ak konpayi an sèlman mansyone ke li ta gen yon eleman Yo Vann an Detay nan li.

  Objektif la an jeneral se bati yon tras 6 mil, ki liy sa a 1 a 2 mil ta dwe pati nan li. Konsantre Vil la (sit) ap ansanm pwent an lès zile a okòmansman. Hurko Co mansyone ke gen twa sit kote tankou yon vil konsantre yo pral. Se konsa, sa a pral mete swa EAU Trois A L'oswa Petite Anse nan pwal yo kwa nan devlopman Hurko la. Pandan ke devlopman a pa pral egzakteman nan swa kote, devlopman nan Konsantre City pral gen omwen 1 a 2 mil de swa zòn nan.

  Devlopman an premye pral gen yon Brasri yo epi yo genyen kèk 6 fèm diferan siwo myèl, 4-5 fèm pòm, ak yon 4-5 pinto fèm pwa. Gen kèk 50 kay oswa apatman yo pral konstwi. Ta Yon resort 100 chanm otèl tou gen pou konstwi. Devlopman tan kap vini yo pral gen yon pasaje yo, kago yo, ak pò machin nan lavni.

  Si tout kenbe verite, sa a pral yon gwo devlopman pou Ayiti, ak Gonave. Sa a ta dwe devlopman ki bay Gonave yon sans de bi, kreye anpil djòb, epi yo te devan yo nan anpil zòn nan rejyon an e nan lemonn. Gen kounye a pa gen delè pou lè pwojè sa yo pral jwenn te kòmanse dapre Hurko Co

  Ale Gonave!

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

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
