Haiti - Economy : The SONAPI proud of its Caracol Industrial Park
11 months after groundbreaking, the President of the Republic of Haiti, Michel Joseph Martelly officially launched the Industrial Park of Caracol (PIC) with Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Luis Alberto Moreno, President of the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB) and former President Bill Clinton.
Ministers and government officials were present to welcome Haitian and foreign guests. The Secretary of State was accompanied by Mrs Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont).
President Martelly and Secretary of State Clinton also had a bilateral meeting.
With a land size of 622 acres, the Caracol Industrial Park fits geographically and economically in the heart of a true dynamic technopolis in the Greater North of Haiti, just a few miles from the new Henry Christophe university campus.
In Cap Haitian, the airport can now accommodate larger carriers and the region offers high tourism potential to cruise ships docking in Labadie. In addition, construction of a new port facility is very far advanced into being a reality.
The park construction was funded by IDB. The United States has committed to building a power plant and started the construction of 5,000 housing units in the region, that U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton came to visit today.
"We started less than a year ago, and today, over a thousand people from the surrounding communities work in the park. __Two tenants, the Korean company S&H Global SA (one of the world leading garment manufacturers) and Peintures Caraibes___ have already established their factories, and soon a third tenant will join them.
These regional opportunities and the first facilities have been revealed to the American trade delegation who accompanied former US Pdt Clinton, who is also co-chair of the Presidential Advisory Council on Economic Growth and Investment (PACEGI),
as well as to __SEA-A Korean guests visiting Haiti. Richard Branson (Virgin Group) was attending, along with Donna Karan(Urban Zen), Frank Ranieri (Punta Can, DR), Sean Penn, Ben Stiller___ or Petra Nemcova, amongst other celebrities.
