The Bahamian government has initiated a significant infrastructure enhancement campaign across several islands, marked by the signing of a $986,000 contract for a new airport terminal on Rum Cay and the simultaneous inauguration of three modern medical clinics. Prime Minister Philip ‘Brave’ Davis led a high-level delegation, including Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper and key ministers, on a tour of his constituency to commission these vital projects. The new Rum Cay airport terminal, awarded to Greenslade Construction Company, will replace an existing inadequate structure described as a basic cabana with wooden benches. Designed to span 2,500 square feet, the facility will feature passenger seating for approximately 20 people, a dedicated baggage ramp, full wheelchair accessibility, and a hybrid power system utilizing both generator and solar energy. Company President Desmond Greenslade committed to employing local residents throughout the 12-month construction period, with officials expressing optimism for an accelerated 8-month completion. Concurrently, the government unveiled three comprehensive medical facilities: the 3,000-square-foot Rum Cay Medical Clinic offering triage services, physician consultations, and phlebotomy; the 2,900-square-foot United Estates Clinic in San Salvador equipped with an ambulance; and the 3,300-square-foot Old Bight Community Clinic in Cat Island, which also received a new emergency vehicle. All health facilities will maintain operational hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, significantly improving healthcare access for island residents. Deputy Prime Minister Cooper emphasized the administration’s commitment to ensuring smaller islands are not neglected in national development, announcing plans for Southern Air to establish regular flight services to Rum Cay, which has approximately 60 inhabitants.
