Naval base seen as a potential site for low-cost housing
By Stephen Breen

Morgan's Point, the empty former US naval base which Government has been
trying to develop for years, could be used for low-cost housing, Sen.
David Burch revealed yesterday.

Rival developers have been hoping to transform the contaminated base in
Southampton into an up-market marina, golf, leisure and housing complex,
but the latest bid appeared to have collapsed this summer.

Sen. Burch, the new Housing Minister, who also has responsibility for
Bermuda Land Development Company, said yesterday that he was planning to
visit the huge site and was considering using it for affordable housing.

He said he was looking both at building new houses for Bermuda Housing
Corporation, and at renovating some of the existing properties on the
site.
