BLUE GROWTH THE GOVERNMENT OF GRENADA COASTAL MASTER PLAN with the support of Grenada THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS GRENADA - CARRIACOU - PETITE MARTINIQUE and in partnership with April 30, 2016 1 Grenada is 19 km long with a coastline of 121 km and an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the sea of 26,000 km2. We have committed to conserve at least 20% of our nearshore marine resources and rebuild natural capital. Properly planned, the carrying capacity of these ecosystems can generate blue growth exports and / or jobs in a range of sectors, including: coastal and marine pro- tection, watershed, sewage and waste management, organic agriculture, waterfront wellness services and retirement properties, coastal eco-tourism, dive tourism, sport fishing, yachting and marina services, traditional boat building, fisheries, aquacul- ture, ocean energy, climate resilient coastal infrastructure, blue biotechnology and international education in marine science and policy. 2 Dear friends, The people of our tri-island nation of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Marti- Stakeholders were engaged to contribute to the draft plan and, as a “work- nique place great emphasis on the viability of our living planet where in-progress”, broader consultations will follow to invite discussion and spur oceans comprise more than 70% of the surface and over 90% of the living new ideas.

The relocation of the airport to Dumfries will allow for direct commercial flights to Carriacou, which will increase tour- ism and also open up land for the development of other economic activi- ties including a Commercial Center, Fishing Village, Aquaculture Center and Marine Housing. WEST COAST FERRY SERVICE The Blue Growth Master Plan promotes the expansion of the current Ferry Service from St. George’s to Hillsborough, Carriacou, and on to Town Dock in Petite Martinique to include Sandals, Gouyave, Victoria, and Sauteurs. EAST COAST HIGHWAY With the relocation of the port to Grenville, a new East Coast Highway will be built to move goods and services to St. George. This would also open up additional land along the Southeast Coast for the development of addi- tional marine residential communities on the numerous peninsulas. A sec- ond phase of an East Coast Highway may include a Northeast Highway from Grenville to Sauteurs. ST GEORGE’S HARBOR WATER TAXI SERVICE As St. George’s Harbor is developed, a new market for regular scheduled water taxis would connect the Cruise Ship Esplanade, with Portofino, the GRENADA Carenage, the proposed Central Harbor Development, the Lagoon , Port Louis Marina, and finally around the corner to the Port Louis Phase 2 de- velopment project. INTER-ISLAND FERRY SERVICE An Inter-Island Ferry Service might also be developed to include Trinidad, Union Island, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, and Barbados. 20 Blue Growth Planning EAST COAST HIGHWAY With the relocation of the port to Gren- ville, a new East Coast Highway will be built to move goods and services to St. George.

GEORGE’S, GRENADA 61 G6 a 62 National Sports Center & Village 63 G6 a 64 St. George’s THE TRANSFORMATION OF ST. GEORGE’S The Blue Growth vision for St. George’s Harbor takes advantage of three very prominent sites: NORTH HARBOR CENTRAL HARBOR This elevated site at the entrance to the harbor is currently occupied by the National Hospital that will be relocated to a new Health and Wellness Campus at Morne Rouge Bay. It would be ideal for the development of a NORTH HARBOR five star hotel and casino along the cliff and terracing down to the harbor, taking on a character reminiscent of Monaco. SOUTH HARBOR CENTRAL HARBOR The Central Harbor site is the heart of the harbor experience and would be ideal for a high density mixed use marine project. The prominent site should become the focus for St. George’s and a symbol for Grenada in the global tourism market. A very “iconic” building is envisioned for this site as a home for the Blue Growth and Ocean Governance Institute, a Five Star Hotel, or perhaps a World Trade Center. SOUTH HARBOR This elevated site, together with the North Harbor cliffs, forms a “gateway” into St. George’s Harbor. The site is being planned for the second phase in the development of Port Louis as a Maritime Village Haven and Mega GATEWAY TO ST. GEORGE’S HARBOR Yacht Marina and will include a hotel, townhomes, apartments, villas and private home sites. The three anchor projects will transform St. George’s into one of the most desirable destinations in the Caribbean. Their success are also expected to create numerous spin-off development opportunities around The Carenage for new commercial, retail and restaurants, as well as Cultural Centers for Poetry, Dance, Music and Performance. The Esplanade and Cruise Ship Terminal site could include new commercial as well as a Cultural Event and Entertainment Center. A new Fishing Vil- lage would also allow the fishing fleet to move from The Carenage harbor to a dedicated fishing fleet marina near the current Fish Market. “ICONIC” SYMBOL FOR GRENADA 65 66 The Esplanade Fishing Village / Cruise Center PROJECT SITE  The Esplanade (Vacant Land) 2 Acres  Reclaimed Land 6 Acres CURRENT LAND OWNERSHIP  Government (Fish Market, Parking Deck)  Private (Vacant Land) PROGRAM AREA  Fish Processing Plant 10,000 SF  Fishing Commercial 6,000 SF  Cruise Commercial 48,000 SF  Performance Pavilion  Fishing Fleet Marina 55 Slips  Surface Parking 60 Cars  Parking Deck Expansion TBD PRELIMINARY PROJECT COSTS  Construction US$ 27 - 30 M  Project Costs US$ 5 - 8 M US$ 32 - 38 M PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Blue Growth Development Zone for the St. George’s Fishing Village and Cruise Center includes vacant land along the Esplanade and potential reclaimed land to the north.

The available land would allow the Port to greatly expand in size to take on a much larger role in the trans- shipping market. The Grenville location is convenient to the major shipping lane between Gre- nada and Trinidad Tobago. A Brazilian sponsored Free Trade Zone and Indus- trial Development would potentially lead to increased shipping to/from South America. This project would also create a signifi- cant economic boost to the entire east coast region. The restoration of several mangrove islands as well as coral reefs will be- come part of the overall project as well. Detailed Due Diligence Studies are re- quired to determine the final feasibility and cost of building a port on the East Coast of Grenada. 109 G6 g EAST COAST HIGHWAY INDUSTRIAL PARK GRENVILLE CONTAINER PORT WATERFRONT PARK / MARINA MANGROVE ISLAND/ CORAL RESTORATION 110 Grenville Port / Free Trade Industrial Park- Alternative A PROJECT SITE  Reclaimed Land 130 Acres  Land north of Telescope Point 70 Acres CURRENT LAND OWNERSHIP TELESCOPE POINT  Reclaimed Land  Government (Telescope Point)  Private PROGRAM AREA  Container Port 100 Acres  Industrial Park 100 Acres  Marina 120 Slips  Industrial/Warehouse Bldgs. 1,000,000 SF PRELIMINARY PROJECT COSTS  Construction US$ 350 - 400 M  Project Costs US$ 75 - 100 M US$ 425 - 500 M PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Blue Growth Development Zone for the proposed relocation of the St. George’s Container Port is re- claimed coastal land between Grenville and Telescope Point.
