EXPANSION PLANS — “Our new project is named Grande Harbour and we will start off with a large slew of amenities, which are actually going to come on board next month (December). We want to begin with the amenities first, so that the buyers and guests will have more amenities … we actually have on site our surveyors and engineers are here staking out the property, identifying where exactly we can and cannot build, what we can and cannot do.” ~ John McDonald, President of Old Bahama Bay, Island Venture Resort Club (IVRC)
