Ground-Breaking Ceremony Unveils Innovative Accommodation Block

 

The Ministry of District Administration and Lands (MDAL) proudly announced the official commencement of construction for the Cayman Brac (CYB) Accommodation Block, set to be completed by November 2024. This pivotal project was inaugurated with a ceremonial ground-breaking ceremony, signifying a significant step forward in the development and improvement of essential services on Cayman Brac.

 

The CYB Accommodation Block will provide 38 suites and is designed to facilitate long-term overnight stays for developers and construction teams involved in the new high school and gym projects, as well as other future government initiatives. Additionally, it will serve visiting school and sports teams, fostering the growth of sports and events tourism on the island.

 

Premier and Minister of Lands, Hon. Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, hosted the ground-breaking ceremony at the development site. In her address, she emphasized the project’s alignment with the Government’s strategic priorities, stating, “By removing the obstacle of accommodation for future construction teams, which has historically been a deterrent to developers, development in Cayman Brac will be encouraged in a manageable way. This will lead to the implementation of projects that enhance the lives of Cayman Brac residents and improve essential services. Furthermore, the accommodation block will promote and facilitate the growth of sports and events tourism due to its potential of utilisation by visiting sports teams and schools.”
