More than $1 billion in investments is on the horizon for cash-strapped Barbados.
By the first quarter of 2019, a specialised Sagicor Senior Citizens Village and Medical Complex in Boarded Hall, St George should have started.

Workmen started at Coverley earlier this month after Barbados agreed to host the Ross University students displaced by Hurricane Maria’s destruction of Dominica last year. (BA)
