Shadow Tourism Minister Craig Cannonier has sought to clarify that, while the opposition OBA are not happy with the current proposed development at the Fairmont Southampton hotel, they fully support its renovation and reopening. But if the hotel reopening is dependent on the construction of 261 additional units, he wants to see Government negotiate with Gencom to scale back the project.

PREMIER ON FAIRMONT SOUTHAMPTON GUARANTEE In the Gencom deal to renovate and reopen Fairmont Southampton, it's not clear if there is any recourse for the taxpayer if the project fails and the 75-million dollar guarantee is called. The guarantee will cover local lending from Clarien Bank - only a portion of the overall cost.

A big turnout last night at a meeting to discuss controversial plans to develop the Fairmont Southampton. Some appeared to leave the meeting satisfied with what they heard about the project, with one woman saying she felt enlightened. Others, however, felt the hotel's importance to group tourism and airlift was being used as leverage.

Former construction boss Rodney Smith has made an appeal for the Fairmont Southampton construction work to include black contractors, who in turn will draw-in workers who otherwise could be missed. In what some may consider a radical idea, Mr. Smith told Gary Foster Skelton that some Westgate inmates could also be selected to work on the project, to allow them to earn a wage ahead of being released. #Bermuda #employment #construction | Bermuda Broadcasting Company

In the face of expansion, dozens rallied today on the grounds of the Cabinet Building to protest the proposed Special Development Order at the Fairmont Southampton. Developers say they are committed to respecting Bermuda's building style and operating sustainably, but as Alisa Bernardo reports, protesters fear profit is being prioritised over the islands environment and character. #bermuda #NewsUpdate #protest #environment | Bermuda Broadcasting Company

Bermuda's economy is in an emergency - and that's why we need to let the Fairmont Southampton development move forward. This from Sir John Swan, who called his previous criticism of the plans a "knee-jerk reaction". Speaking to Gary Foster Skelton, he suggests that Bermuda's history of seeing hotels close has impacted investor confidence, so the deal had to be sweetened with expanded plans for multiple additional units on the hotel property. #Bermuda #tourism #Environment | Bermuda Broadcasting

It will not come as a surprise to many that the proposed Special Development Order for the Fairmont Southampton has received a thumbs down from the planning board. This was expected, the hotel owners say, as the board can only act within specific guidelines. Citing the tourism and economic benefits the hotel could bring, the hotel owners hope Home Affairs Minister Walter Roban will use his authority to reject the board's recommendations, and approve the Special Development Order.

The Fairmont Southampton hotel owners are going to get their SDO. Home Affairs Minister Walter Roban stated today that he is going to grant a Special Development Order which will allow up to 250 additional units on the property. Planning officials along with local campaigners, had cited environmental concerns, but the Minister overrode other opinions, pointing to the overall economic necessity to get the hotel open. It's been a long road to get to this point, and Gary Foster Skelton looks at eve

A stark warning tonight that if the Fairmont Southampton plan does not come to fruition, we could end up with another derelict hotel. One of the owners of the hotel, Chris Maybury, spoke to Gary Foster Skelton just before a public meeting was about to begin this evening. He stated that he does not work for Gencom, and said that for reasons of financial viability, the controversial SDO for the site is inextricably linked to the fate of the hotel. And, echoing Sir John Swan's recent comments, Mr M
