Harrison Point to be developed as Luxury Resort

A dramatic change of status is in the cards for Harrison Point, St. Lucy in Barbados.

Mike Goddard of CBC TV8 reported today that the site of the temporary prison is to be transformed into a place of luxury. It will be constructed on 83 acres of land, and will comprise a hotel, residential villas, restaurants, pools and a spa, among other things.

'

The Harrison Point Resort development is a joint private and public sector project by the Barbados Tourism Investment Incorporated and Fairways Development Limited and is to be discussed during a town hall meeting at North Stars Cultural and Social Club on Wednesday September 26 at 7.30 p.m. The develpment is expected to improve and revitalise and area of Barbados' coastline that has been inaccessible to the public for almost 50 years.

The Harrison Point lighthouse is also to be retained and will be incorporated into a historic centre and park.

This project has been on the cards since 2004 but was put on hold when the fire at Glendairy prisons forced the relocation of prisoners to the site of the old American navy base at Harrison Point.

Stay tuned to CBC TV8 for updates on this new Luxury Resort.
