AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Sports Tourism Push: Antigua’s Caribbean Corporate Games officially launched, aiming to draw 1,500 visitors for the inaugural 2027 event and feeding the wider “tourism economy” plan, with registration open for 16+ teams and proceeds supporting the Bright Horizons Foundation. Maritime & Construction: Antigua Slipway launched Phase 2 of the Marine Railway redevelopment in English Harbour, with Meridian Construction set to begin work in late July and the upgraded yard targeting vessels up to 250 tons. Energy & Infrastructure: PM Browne says Antigua is exploring an undersea geothermal power link with St. Kitts and Nevis, while a separate push is underway to modernise flood forecasting by shifting from rainfall prediction to forecasting flood impacts. Tourism Investment: Government is moving toward a public-private partnership model for the Yepton Beach hotel so Antiguans and Barbudans can hold equity, and it plans to cut Rat Island to reclaim land for St. John’s Port expansion. Renewables Ownership: Browne also outlined plans to acquire a major solar plant within 24 months and open it to public investment. Finance & Jobs: ECCB unveiled “The Big Push” strategy to double the ECCU economy over 10 years, and UNI warned that fintech expansion in the region is undercutting workers through uneven regulation and taxes. Local Industry & Skills: UWI warned about a fraudulent website, while the UWI Five Islands Campus expansion is set to move into bidding for an $80m Saudi-funded upgrade. Food & Hospitality: Elite Island Resorts chefs earned American Culinary Federation Certified Executive Chef designations, and a local brewery is expected to start operations in early 2027. Law & Governance: Opposition Senator Malaka Parker urged tighter limits on digital production orders under the Electronic Crimes Bill, and the Senate approved compulsory land acquisition for the National Performing Arts Centre. Community & Health: HAPPI is building a new home for a family of 30, and a “Ride for a Cause” protest renewed calls to reopen the cancer centre.
