Dangriga’s Commerce Bight Port Makes a Dazzling Comeback with $50 Million Revamp!

Hold the press! Dangriga is about to make waves with its Commerce Bight Port set for a jaw-dropping transformation! After years of neglect and endless legal battles, this sleepy southern port is now on the fast track to becoming a top-notch cruise destination. The Southern Deep Port Development Limited’s groundbreaking ceremony on Friday afternoon marked the start of a sensational $50 million upgrade that promises to turn Commerce Bight into a hotspot for smaller cruise ships and luxury yachts.

Prime Minister John Briceño couldn’t contain his excitement, declaring, “This project has been years in the making. It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally making good on our 2006 promise to revamp Commerce Bight!” He went on to highlight that Basilio Zabaneh, a key player in the project, is a seasoned pro in the cruise industry. “Zabaneh’s expertise is going to be crucial in redeveloping the port and surrounding area, which will soon feature restaurants, artisan shops, cultural hubs, and hotels,” Briceño enthused.

Dr. Louis Zabaneh, Basilio’s first cousin and a prominent local figure, provided juicy details about the public-private partnership. The deal is split 20-80, with the government holding 20% and private investors 80% over a 30-year term, complete with enticing benefits and tax breaks. This smart move is set to attract significant private investment, giving Dangriga a sparkling new asset that will not only boost local employment but also bring in much-needed tourist dollars.

In a dramatic twist, Dr. Zabaneh confirmed that Basilio Zabaneh is already the largest employer in Dangriga and is aiming to create even more jobs through this game-changing project. With Commerce Bight set to shine, Dangriga’s future looks brighter than ever! Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling development!
