Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

The city of Anse-a-Galets, Let's Build Gonave, Haiti, and Hurko will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU.  I will be working with/for Hurko to make the honeybee project a reality. The purpose of the MOU is to develop a viable honeybee operation on the island of La Gonave.  Given that city land will be needed for some parts of the project, a MOU is needed to show that all parties are serious about moving forward. I had mentioned in a few earlier posts about the city park/plaza revitalization and how it would require the city's approval.  While this is still the case, a MOU will be sent to the city in the middle of February with work on the plaza to be done later. The plaza will form part of the proposed honeybee highway which will serve as the spine of the honeybee operation.  This highway is needed since the lack of fodder for the honeybees are somewhat limited on the island. This MOU paints a clearer picture for the future of La Gonave and it's...

There is an idea to connect part of the island of La Gonave.  Possibly you have heard the calls from some to have a road built between the cities of Anse-a-Galets to Pointe-a-Raquette.  There is even a petition the is asking the President of Haiti to take this on, and build such a road.  Below is roughly the location and route of the road that is being proposed. As you can see based on how I plotted it, it follows the route that a few other sites and experts have asked for.  The need to connect the two cities is very important.  The drive time to connect the two cities is horrible, and to get patients to hospitals in Anse-a-Galet from Pointe-a-Raquette is more than a mission.  So many have said that a road is needed. I have a problem with this on some fronts.  I do support a road, preferably a two lane bi-directional highway.  I even signed the petition to get this project done.  I even feel that along the route a solar panel strip alo...

Gonave Transpark 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 a...
