Desert Star Holdings Project on

Minister for Commerce, Bradly Felix, says after much discussion with Desert Star Holdings, a revised agreement has been made. This new agreement will exclude the Mankote mangrove from the multi-billion dollar Pearl of the Caribbean development – that will break ground in Vieux Fort before year end. The move follows expressed concerns by the St Lucia National Trust. The developers have also agreed to replace the meat processing plant, given that the existing facility forms part of the Pearl of the Caribbean development site.
