 "Freeport
is a city, district and free trade zone on the island of Grand Bahama
of the northwest Bahamas. In 1955, Wallace Groves, a Virginian financier
with lumber interests in Grand Bahama, was granted 20,000 hectares (50,000
acres) of pineyard with substantial areas of swamp and scrub land by
the Bahamian government with a mandate to economically develop the area.
Freeport has grown to become the second most populous city in the Bahamas.
The main airport serving the city is the Grand Bahama International
Airport, which receives domestic flights from various islands of the
Bahamas as well as several international flights from the United States
and Canada. Freeport is also served by domestic Bahamian ferry services
to other islands.
The Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) operates the free trade
zone, under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement signed in August 1955 whereby
the Bahamian government agreed that businesses in the Freeport area
would pay no taxes before 1980, later extended to 2054. The area of
the land grants within which the Hawksbill Creek Agreement applies has
been increased to 56,000 hectares (138,000 acres)."

A performer came into
the audience and sat
on Lee Duquette's lap while she sang.
Why does SHE look scared? Lee was very happy. |
