New Town Development
Little Bay Development Project- MDC
LITTLE BAY DEVELOPMENT
By 2020, the new town in Little Bay will have achieved its identity as a spectacular new visitor destination in the region’s competitive tourism market. Economic benefits flowing from this sector will underpin a solid sustainable economy. The beauty of Little Bay’s urban townscape will be the civic pride of Montserrat.
The Montserrat Development Corporation (MDC) Project aims to be a viable and effective institution that will stimulate Montserrat’s economic growth by creating a more supportive and enabling environment for private sector investment and providing a sound institutional base for the development of Little Bay.
TODAY & PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
The MDC’s Little Bay Preliminary Master Plan, is a fusion of many of the ideas from the past that have been re-cast within a new integrated waterfront concept and wider 3-Bays strategic framework.
The grafting of this exciting and challenging waterfront strategy onto a restructured town centre scheme presents the opportunity to realise not only a magnificent new capital town, but also the creation of a new tourism and trade destination gateway to Montserrat. The synergy of this combination has the potential to drive the transformational and sustainable change of Montserrat’s future economy.
