Proposed location of the new General Aviation Terminal (CNS): The Cayman Islands Airport Authority has begun looking for an interested partner for the proposed redevelopment of the General Aviation Terminal at Owen Roberts International Airport. The government has recently implied that the controversial project, with an estimated price tag of CI$42 million, could be funded through a public-private partnership (PPP). The CIAA has therefore issued a formal Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI) from potential aviation developers. This is the second procurement process; the first in 2024 was cancelled. The government recently redid the Outline Business Case and is now using this request to gather information from qualified and interested parties with relevant experience in the design, development, financing, and operation of aviation facilities. “Through this process, the CIAA seeks to better understand market interest, technical capabilities, innovative approaches, and potential partnership structures, including public–private partnerships,” officials stated in the...

Overview: Brooklyn-based Haitian American placemaker Stephanie Pierre has opened Kafou, a Haitian art-inspired gallery in East Flatbush, featuring seven artists exploring themes of space, place, migration and identity. The gallery operates on a community-centered model, charging artists a reduced commission in exchange for their active involvement in managing and promoting their own work. Kafou, a new gallery rooted in Haitian and Diaspora art, opened in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, last month and has already extended its inaugural exhibition. Haitian American community developer Stephanie Pierre founded the gallery, which hosted its opening reception on April 16, 2026. The event drew enough public interest to extend the debut show, “Space as Place,” through May 17.

The space aims to serve as exactly that...
