St. George’s, Grenada
-- 6 Feb., 2007 -- In an effort to return the lagoon and marina at Port Louis to its former
pristine state, developer Mr. Peter de Savary has embarked on a massive clean
up campaign.
The Port Louis
marina developer estimates that over 3 million U.S. dollars has already been
spent to remove a large of amount junk from the area including metal scrap,
sunken and abandoned boats and the remains of the old Grenada Yacht Services
dock. “I have listened to many persons in Grenada who have told me stories of
the former beauty of this place, we want to restore this beauty and then
enhance it with our project, said Mr. De Savary.
Marina and Communications
Manager for Port Louis Mr. Danny Donelan added to Mr. De Savary’s comments by
emphasising the significance that De Savary group was placing on the
environment. “The environment is one of our main priorities. While we build and
develop this beautiful area we will do so in an environmentally conscious way
as we have always done with our projects. This is why we are placing so much
emphasis on the clean up process. We also have to ensure that the waters of the
marina are in perfect shape to berth the many yachts which we expect for World
Cup Cricket 2007,” said Donelan.
While the clean up job is a
massive one Donelan noted that he is very pleased with the cooperation of the
fishing and catamaran boat owners who presently use the marina to berth their
boats. Donelan stated that “The owners have been very supportive to Mr.
de Savary and his team, so as to allow the steady progress of work in the area.
We take this opportunity to thank them for their co-operation.”
