Minister Beache said he is pleased with the progress made so far and praised the investors for doing so much in such a short time.

Some 280 workers are currently working on the site. This number is expected to increase to 400 by February. When the 24 acre resort is completed towards the end of 2008, some 520 Vincentians will be employed.
