A release from the IADC says the upcoming meeting will take place at the Bequia Community High School, on Thursday May 8th from 6pm.
The presenters will include Communications Officer at the IADC, Jennifer Richardson-Herbert who will update residents on the progress of construction and investment opportunities in and around the airport.
Jay Belmar from the Ministry of Tourism will look at the impact of the airport on tourism, while Andrew Mitchell will focus on the development of sailing and how this sector can benefit from the international airport.
