FREEPORT, Grand Bahama, October 15, 2022 – With great excitement, the Downtown Freeport Business Association (DFBA) has announced the election of its new board for the 2023/2024 business year. Elections took place on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at the Sir Charles Hayward Library, on the heels of a recent meet-and-greet event, where the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA), the Ministry of Grand Bahama, and the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF) pledged a renewed commitment to the organization.
The new board comprises an eager group of citizens from a cross-section of the downtown community, including corporate entities like the Bank of The Bahamas, Scotia Bank, BTC, and Insurance Management. The DFBA board acknowledges that gaining corporate support affirms confidence in the organization and a collective commitment to the revitalization of downtown.
The board has served the downtown area for over a decade through cleanup and cultural entertainment initiatives, working closely with the GBPA to encourage the Grand Bahama community to shop locally. The new board is also looking forward to partnering with The Ministry of Grand Bahama.
“We are looking to bring life, laughter, and fun back to the heart and soul of Grand Bahama,” says Antoine Brooks, DFBA President. “We encourage Grand Bahama residents to join the movement and the team in their mission to revitalize downtown.”
DFBA PR Director Alex Thompson added: “In recent years, we have enjoyed working with GBPA to host signature events such as Freeport Flash Friday and December’s Midnight Madness promotions. These have all become staples and annual events on the downtown and Grand Bahama calendar. We are excited to continue this partnership with GBPA, and to forge new relationships with additional corporate stakeholders, for the benefit of our downtown community and the local economy.” Director Alex Thompson.
