Streamertail...wow, I'd just about forgotten about the massive development that was "planned" for southern Negril and beyond....
That sign came down within a few years of being put up. Have no idea what happened. I can let my imagination run wild with the rumours on the street....I remember these "developers" would have meetings with "investors" at LTU, you'd see them at a table, all these big blue-print type things spread out...we think maybe it was all one huge scam and these guys took off with the money. Whatever it was, its not, thank god!
CBB, true, sands do shift - the beach in Negril that I first met looks nothing like the beach today on many levels. The more a beach is built on, the more bush pulled out, the more buildings encroach on the shore....this speeds up the natural erosion of the beach. I remember after Hurricane Ivan going to Alfreds - the music was set up in the parking lot and the bar was swim-up. By early-December they had their beach back.
I've not heard of any other proposals but like I sad, the first plan of action is to halt all development.
