AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Port & Energy Buildout: PM Gaston Browne says Antigua and Barbuda is weighing financing for a US$100M cargo port expansion to deepen the country’s role as a regional transshipment hub, with talks including the Chinese contractor and possible support from the US DFC. Harbour Works: Crabb’s Harbour dredging is finished and testing is underway to meet depth specs for larger vessels, including LNG shipments for APUA, with Blue Ocean now moving to St. John’s Harbour. Sports Infrastructure: World Athletics has de-certified the YASCO Sports Complex track as Class 2, as officials plan to replace the deteriorating surface with Mondo confirming shipping timelines. CHOGM Creative Push: Cabinet approved a $250,000 Creative Industries Development Fund to help local artistes produce work for international audiences, while artisans are urged to make products that “speak” for Antigua and Barbuda ahead of CHOGM. Tourism & Hospitality: ABHTA is rolling out an enhanced E.A.S.E. customer service and Commonwealth cultural awareness programme to prepare frontline staff for CHOGM visitors. Local Business Financing: Cabinet approved EC$260,000 in loans to expand local retail, tourism and agricultural businesses, including a van for Eat N Lime tours and greenhouse/chill-room support for Fresh Acres. Barbuda Airport Naming: Barbuda’s International Airport will be renamed Burton-Nibbs International Airport on Nov. 1, 2026, marking 45 years of Independence. Visa Shockwaves: A US visa bond move is set to hit travel demand, and separate reporting highlights increased scrutiny and revocations affecting Caribbean entertainers, including Antiguan soca star Tian Winter. Community & Culture: Groundsmen at a CPL 2026 match turned a rain delay into a viral “rain dance,” while the Independence “Renaissance” theme and calendar of events were unveiled.
