Government should terminate the contract for a proposed resort in St George’s, according to the Bermuda Environmental Sustainability Taskforce (BEST).In a statement it said that the terms of the agreement between Bermuda and developer Carl Bazarian regarding the construction of the proposed Park Hyatt resort have not been adhered to.BEST chairman Stuart Hayward said: “Given that construction was to have begun by August 2012, which has passed, the agreement should be terminated.“Mr Swan referred to this property as ‘one of Bermuda’s assets.’ We feel it is an asset that Bermudians, particularly those resident in St George’s, are being deprived of while it is tied up in an agreement with a delinquent partner.”Representatives for the developer and the Ministry of Tourism had not commented on the statement as of press time last night.First announced in 2007, the Park Hyatt resort project was originally expected to be completed by spring of 2011, but ground has yet to be broken.UBP MP Charlie Swan criticised the slow movement of the project in March, alleging that the developers had missed their deadline to start work. He said the lease for the land specified that work must be completed within 48 months of the site being cleared.Representatives for the developer said that talks about modifying the lease to extend the deadlines were ongoing.BEST had previously criticised plans put forward for the resort project, calling them “starkly un-Bermudian,” but Mr Bazarian responded that the project would be significantly more fitting than the Club Med resort which previously occupied the site.Mr Hayward said yesterday: “We believe that there are other possibilities/potential for the area on a scale that is more in keeping with the character of St George’s.“These could include a smaller hotel such as the boutique hotel proposed for the town, as well as the rebuilding of a clubhouse for the St George’s Golf Course and the small facility on Catherine’s Beach, both of which were destroyed prematurely.“The first step for any hotel development to take place at the site is to untangle Bermuda from the current, unfulfilled agreement. We support that step.”
