With The Bahamas general election called for May 12th, Our Governor’s Harbour is asking all candidates standing in Central and South Eleuthera to respond publicly to the following questions regarding the proposed J Resorts Development. These questions reflect the concerns of residents, long-time homeowners, and community members across Governor’s Harbour and Central Eleuthera.

An Open Letter to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Works and Family Island Affairs on the proposed J Resorts Development in Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera.

 An independent community survey conducted across central Eleuthera found that residents hold strong and substantive views about the future of their island, centred on environmental protection, public beach access, cultural identity, and a development model that genuinely serves Bahamian communities.

An ex-Bahamas National Trust (BNT) chief yesterday disclosed he has "laid it out" for the US developer behind a $650m resort destination proposed for Governor's Harbour that his ambitions are "too large, too dense and not what we want for Eleuthera."
