Peter Turnquest on the Vision for Grand Bahama - Mar 1, 2010 - 10:31:25 AM
Freeport, Bahamas - The following are remarks made by President of the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce at the Grand Bahama Business Outlook on February 25th.

the indigenous stakeholders to ensure it relevance and credibility.

the politics and other extenuating circumstances, but is a worthwhile
endeavor to try to bring some focus to our attempts to attract investment
which should be lined up with our educational requirements to ensure
our citizens benefit...
