Security Clears Room After Hull Bay Crowd Overwhelms CZM Hearing

People want to be heard about this new dock! From The Source:

May 20, 2008 -- A crowd of frustrated and outspoken residents from around Hull Bay overflowed the Coastal Zone Management Commission hearing room Tuesday and eventually had to be cleared by a Port Authority security officer.

The hearing at the Cyril E. King Airport was set to review the proposal by Island Green to build a dock on Inner Brass Island, or cay.

However, many attendees, skeptical that the development would be limited to the dock, expressed suspicion that they were only seeing an application for part of a larger development in the works.

It is good to see citizens involved. The people of St. Thomas tend to think that the Brass islands are their islands, and I think that is great. They are very wary of developing this spot - this should be an interesting story going forward.
