With respect to New Providence, the Prime Minister said the development is happening while the third phase of Atlantis (hotel resort) is underway, resulting in substantial increase in construction work.

Prime Minister Christie said his Government is also negotiating a significant development at Cable Beach he hopes developers are able to agree with his proposition as to what should take place.

The Prime Minister said the heritage park will include evidence of the three civilizations that impacted New Providence and The Bahamas, the Lucayan Indians where there is evidence of two major pre-Columbian villages, evidence of the existence of slaves in The Bahamas pre-Loyalists, and Loyalists.

The Prime Minister also noted that the Government is discussing the rehabilitation and expansion of the South Ocean property and other associated housing developments of some significance for New Providence.
