FREEPORT, Grand Bahama, Nov. 30, 2022 – The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA) advises residents of civil works currently underway to upgrade and beautify the parking area between the New Solomon’s, Park ‘N Shop and York Street.
“In preparation for the opening of a new Solomon’s Food Store, we are upgrading the parking area for shoppers and the Island’s visitors,” said Troy McIntosh, GBPA’s Deputy Director of Building & Development Services, and City Manager. “Along with Austin Outdoor Landscape, the contractor for the project, we are installing plants, a new irrigation system and lighting, as well as sealing the existing asphalt surface, installing curbing and line stripping.”
During this period, which began on November 21 and is expected to wrap up on December 16, patrons may park their vehicles in the western parking lot adjacent to the stores, and walk across the street for shopping.
“This upgrade and beautification project, at a cost of $200,000, is another investment in Downtown Freeport in support of the many GBPA licensees working diligently to earn the business of Freeport shoppers,” explained Ian Rolle, GBPA’s President. “Our team is working hard to ensure the parking area is rendered safe and welcoming in time for the new Solomon’s Food Store, slated to open in short order. We look forward to a fresh, new retail store that delivers a first-class shopping experience before you even enter the doors.”
