The need for a business park could be perfect for the honey processing plant.

Before I wrote about an Innovation Park could be what La Gonave needs to spur economic development.  A business park is also something that could also help spur economic development.  In fact, it could be possible to combine the two parks into one.  Imagine the La Gonave Innovation and Business Park.  This could be an opportunity to have both tech and non-tech companies to work together.

I bring up the idea of a business park because we are planning to build a honey processing plant in the city of Anse-a-Galets.  While the plant is a couple of years away, honey will be processed on the island well before a true plant is built.  The small extraction center that we will open initially at the start of 2017 will help make the case to get financing for a much larger and faster extraction plant.  Couple this with the need of having warehouse space, and you get the point.

A business/innovation park is needed as a place where roads are built, dedicated power is available, and water access is available.

Our pitch to the city of Anse-a-Galets would be to set aside a 10-15 acre site where this small light industrial park would be built.  I know of at least two companies already interested in locating on La Gonave, and having a dedicated area with modern infrastructure is important.  Also Hurko is looking at developing products that would be exported.  I am personally heading to Haiti in Feb to talk to a technology firm about the possibly of locating to La Gonave.  By advocating and touting this business innovation park, we can possibly get a strong tech firm to open a small facility on La Gonave.

It all starts with honey as I have mentioned before.  Honey is the key to this whole project and the economy of La Gonave.  By having a strong industry that is based around honey, and they having other supporting industries that work with the wax, propolis, and even the honey, you start to see greater rewards.

I know currently of a new startup that is interested in the honey we will be producing on the island.  Now is the time for La Gonave to shine, and building such a business innovation park is the best way to go. 

Go Business Innovation Park.  Go 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

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
