Daily Herald story It is still inconceivable to me that the airport has done ZERO to start reconstruction. His first job should be to get a loan, if necessary, to start the repairs. It is ridiculous that it is three months later and they have done nothing. Who knows how much more damage has been done? These people never heard of a short term loan?

I haven't been there yet, so can't really comment on that, but it seems they are doing nothing to get the airport fixed, just waiting on the insurance!!! Who knows how long that will be??
Perhaps in another thread, could you post your impressions of your visits since Irma?

Top of the list needs to be shelter, food and water for the homeless. I came thru the tents a few weeks back. It works just fine. How many years did people go through the old non air conditioned airport?
As for high season, there will not be much of one this year.

Agreed. Going to be a very sparse high season.

The first priority for government needs to be to vote to accept the Integrity Chamber, to start the money flowing, for sure. But the airport authority needs to get off it's duff now and get started with renovations, and not wait for the insurance, however they have to do it. The current airport situation will not work at all if and when there start to be actual crowds coming back, and this renovation is going to take a long time.

There are people on the east coast that will want to get away from the cold, Not a fun situation being in tents in the heat You want to get away from the East coast cold yet you complain about the possibility of being in a tent in the heat for a short amount of time?? Many people would just be thankful for the opportunity to return and help the local economy. I know I would.
