FREEPORT, Grand Bahama, December 12, 2019 – The Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) continues to play a leading role in the recovery efforts in Grand Bahama and specifically in the city of Freeport in the aftermath of the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian earlier in September.
In a post on its Facebook page that included three photographs, the GPBA noted: “Many GB Residents stopped by the GBPA Headquarters today (Wednesday, December 11) to apply for home repair assistance. Our team will also be available to assist tomorrow between 10am-5pm.”
GB residents in need of assistance were advised that applications can also be completed online at www.gbpa.com/homerepair.
Early in October, it was announced that business owners were set to benefit from economic relief assistance programs following on-going consultation with the GBPA.
“As local businesses begin recovery and restoration plans following the impact of Hurricane Dorian, the Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA) seeks to engage with licensees to assess their needs,” a report at the time noted.
“We recognize that many of our licensees face the daunting task of rebuilding,” said Deann Seymour, Chief Financial Officer and Licensing Chairman of the GBPA. “Our commitment is to provide the necessary support for their recovery that will translate into our island’s economic sustainability and demonstrate Grand Bahama’s resilient spirit.”
