FREEPORT, Grand Bahama — Deputy Prime Minister Peter Turnquest this week opened the Grand Bahama Cooperative Credit Union’s newest branch office in the Port Lucaya Marketplace.
He said the company’s decision to open a second branch signals not only an expansion for the company, but confidence in the Grand Bahama economy.
Mr Turnquest noted that the island’s economy is very important to the country, and added that his government is committed to the economic recovery of Grand Bahama.
“Our government remains committed to creating an environment to have Grand Bahama fully rebound, he told persons attending the opening Wednesday evening. This island’s economy is critical to our national growth.”
However, Mr Turnquest said Grand Bahama will not automatically move, unless “people with ideas, dreams and thorough plans, and a commitment to work with their resources make things move”. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/sep/28/credit-union-opens-marketplace-branch/
