NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Last Chance for Lighthouse Point campaign partners are requesting an update from the government and the Walt Disney Company on the status of Disney’s proposed cruise ship port at Lighthouse Point, Eleuthera.
Environmentalists representing the campaign, in a recent statement, claimed “there is mounting uncertainty about if and when the project will proceed, particularly in light of the recent retirement of Joe Rohde, Disney’s chief designer for the project”.
“Also, Disney’s environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the project was submitted to the ministry for review more than eight months ago, but there is no publicly available information yet as to when it will be released for review and public consultation,” the statement noted.
