#TurksandCaicos, January 28, 2022 – Some excitement Tuesday (January 25) for the twin islands of North and Middle Caicos; the Member of Parliament who is also the Minister with responsibility for sea ports in the country was at home.

“Bellefield Landing has the potential to become a major mixed tourism and commercial port to support prosperity on North Caicos and Middle Caicos.

Already the twins islands are a must visit destination for day trippers from Providenciales. It is estimated that over  30,000 visitors make thia trip each year. As we are nearing the end of the pandemic this number will increase.

The development of Bellefield Landing is a key priority for this government.”

Arlington Musgrove, Minister of Immigration and Border Services was unveiling the new and broad vision for Bellefield Landing, as the main dock for marine traffic to the Turks and Caicos’ two largest islands.

“I am pleased to advise that Cabinet approved the dredging of the Bellefield Landing channel. This contract will be signed any day now.

The Boat Slips project is out to tende4, closing on February 3, 2020. This project will complement the Welcome Center. It will provide a Landing for the ferry and install 16 boat slips for use by the community.

As you can see we have BIG plans for Bellefield Landing.  This brings me to the launch of the Masterplan.”

Minister Arlington Musgrove used the opportunity to tout the coming developments for North and Middle and thanked designers of the plan or project consultants, Conservative Architects who worked with the Ports Authority and the Community on that masterplan.

The plan will guide the medium term development of Bellefield landing, which is currently undergoing a full scale redevelopment.
