Island Construction is busy preparing a section of land near Devonshire Marsh so it can be returned to the Bermuda National Trust.Jennifer Gray, of the Bermuda National Trust, said that Island Construction had been leasing the property adjacent to their Middle Road headquarters, but that lease is now ending.The company’s main office will remain in its current location, but the land leased to the company by the Trust will soon be returned to the Trust.“They no longer have a lease on that land and so now they are clearing the site in order to return it to the trust,” Ms Gray explained. “Probably what is concerning the public is they can see visible mountains of sand turning into a ‘berm,’ which is a part of the remediation plan.”Remediation work at the site will include clearing the area of weeds, creating a small berm around the property’s boundary, laying several feet of soil, and planting grass, along with native and endemic trees.Regarding the future of the property, Mr Gray said the Trust wants the land to return to open, public space.“At this point, just know that we want that property to be fitting with the Devonshire Marsh basin as open space, public space, certainly a more fitting use.”As of press time last night, Island Construction boss Zane DeSilva has not responded to requests for comment.Some members of the public had contacted this newspaper expressing concern that the work being carried out on the site was related to a proposal to build warehouses on Island Construction’s property.Those plans were refused by the planning board, but controversially approved on appeal by Walter Roban on his last day as Minister for Environment, Planning and Infrastructure Strategy. New Minister Marc Bean however said that the appeals would be “reviewed afresh”.
