Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

Gonave has a dirt runway that would not be strong enough for larger aircraft to land.  Given that constructing a runway, and terminal could cost several million dollars, it wouldn't be something that would be immediately feasible.  Even a small scale, bare bones airport with a single 7,500 ft runway and a tiny 20,000 sq ft terminal would be at least $50 million.  So what is the alternative? As you know I like to find a cheaper way to do things that actually work.  When I was in Seattle this weekend I saw many seaplanes.  Many of these planes were small Cessna type craft, and not like the larger plane you see above.  Given the unique circumstances at Gonave, having a seaplane that takes off from Miami, or Haiti, makes for a more practical choice.  Funny that the above plane based out of Vancouver, Canada are the colors of the potential Gonave Flag.  I personally would have a yellow sun in the middle of the tail.

Work is still progressing on the Gonave Government Portal .  You can see the updates here http://gonavegovernment.webs.com/ .  Somethings have been streamlined to make the page function a little better. Visitors will now be able to see the local time, and temperature in the region.  There are three currently inactive buttons that are mainly for residents of Gonave.  These buttons are: Housing, Health & Medical Services, and Employment. The layout of the page is different as well.  There is a column on the left of the page, along with a top picture banner, and a label bar which still has the Home page, Contact Us, and Focus City. The left column, which was mentioned before, is for News Updates, current time and temperature.   The Let's Build Haiti button, and Gonave Newsletter are still on the page and both of these items are active. The site is a work in progress, look for additional changes in the future.
