People here are mad as hell.
There have been multiple community meetings held, voices and reports heard yet the community had to find out about this approval in the MEDIA. Cowards.
The fear is that this thing will get started, money will run out and the roads and beach will remain a mess.
If this goes through, its the death knell for Negril and her businesses. They are planning to stage the entire operation at Corner Bar, basically blocking off West End road. I don't need to say how badly that will dry up businesses up here - but it will also prevent whatever emergency vehicles from effectively reaching the good folks that live on this end of Negril - police, fire, "ambulance" etc.
There's talk of JET filing for an injunction. That's what is needed right now. The grant money has an expiration date and if this thing can be stalled until that time that would be awesome.
