The Government has described its progress in Barbuda as “historic,” citing new land legislation, infrastructure, and tourism investments that it says are reshaping the sister island’s future.
In the 2026 Speech from the Throne, Governor-General Sir Rodney Williams said Barbuda is “becoming a net contributor” to the national economy for the first time. Major projects highlighted include the new International Burton-Nibbs Airport, a planned seaport, paved roads, street lighting, and expanding developments by PLH, Rosewood, Nobu, and others.
