Premier Michael Dunkley paid a visit this week to the Morgan’s Point site, which is also the home of the Artemis Racing base, to view the progress of both development projects.

Mr Dunkley, who was joined by Sen. Vic Ball, Junior Minister for Tourism and Transport, was provided a full update regarding the Morgan’s Point construction progress as well an update on the building of the Artemis Racing base by Craig Christensen, president and CEO of Morgan’s Point.

The Premier said he was “very pleased and encouraged” with the current progress, which includes engineering, electrical, painting, marine, dock, plumbing, landscaping, crane and heavy equipment operating work on both the Artemis and Morgan’s Point development.

Last year Morgan’s Point completed its remediation process in which numerous local contractors were used for the project.

Meanwhile, at the Artemis base, which the Premier called an “impressive facility”, Bermudians are playing a major role in supporting the team’s efforts, with six full time Bermudians being employed directly with the team.

Ultimately the West End site will see the building of 157 waterfront residences, a 79 room ultra-luxury branded hotel and amenities that include world-class restaurants and spa, and a marina that can host 77 boats along with 21 mega-yachts.
