Published

Providenciales, 24 Jul 2015 – The Turks & Caicos Islands Government recently embarked on the initiative to increase Building height and density. The main objective is economic benefit, job growth, and stimulation of the construction industry, auxiliary services and tourism related businesses.

This move by the government will bring the much-needed increase in bed count to support the projected upsurge in airlifts to meet the demand of year on year rise in tourism arrivals.

Towards this end, the recommended building height increase is 12 stories (up to a maximum of 140 feet) as opposed to 7 stories (up to a maximum of 90 feet).

On Wednesday, August 5th 2015 at Gustavus Lightbourne Complex at 7pm the Turks & Caicos Islands Government will be hosting a town hall meeting in order for the public to voice their views.

Your views are important to us and if you wish make a written representation, you may do so prior to the meeting with the heading “PUBLIC CONSULTATION BUILDING HEIGHT” in email at publicconsultation@gov.tc or in writing at Premiers Office, Hilly Ewing Building, Providenciales between 8am to 4:30pm.
