CAT ISLAND, BAHAMAS – A Cat Island straw vendor says while business can sometimes be slow, she’s optimistic that a new airport will not only boost the economy, but improve business for her.
For Sheena Woodside, an ordinary day entails setting up her tent with handmade straw work just a few yards away from Cat Island’s airport.
When Our News’ team arrived on the island this week, she was the only one there although she is usually joined by others.
While she says business hasn’t been too good, she remains optimistic.
On Thursday, the Davis administration broke ground on a new airport.
Prime Minister and area Member of Parliament Philip Davis said he’s expecting the airport to be completed in two years.
Woodside showed us some of her straw work on display which she explained took hours to craft, she says she’s hoping for the island’s economy to pick up.
