There is rampant speculation that this may well be the case following what were described as advanced discussions between the prospective buyer and senior government officials.
TNN understands the potential sale of the asset could be in the offing with the matter set to be brought before weekly PLP caucus meeting, set to take place this evening.
A well placed source indicated this matter was rejected by a large majority weeks ago at the PLP caucus meeting tonight the topic returns.
The sale or the lease of the facility located in Castle Harbour was first spoken about back in 2022, with suggestions that it would be purchased by GENCOM, the company redeveloping the Fairmont Southampton property.
The quarry comes under the Ministry of Public Works which is headed by Jache Adams. We have reached out to a Government spokesperson for comment about the supposed planned sale of the quarry.
Of concern is whether the asphalt plant will remain at that location if and when the quarry is sold. According to our source a suggested relocation site for the asphalt plant, is the Wilkinson Quarry, which currently owned by Deputy Premier and Minister of Housing, Zane Desilva. We have reached out to Mr. DeSilva as well as Premier David Burt for comment.
A the time of this release TNN has not received any response from the Government on the inquiries put forward.
