Lagoon Causeway Proposal

The residents of Placencia Peninsula recently learned of a proposal by Mrs. Elizabeth Zabaneh, President of the Belize Senate, to build a causeway over the Placencia Lagoon linking Independence Village and Placencia Village.

Peninsula residents are extremely concerned about the effects of a causeway on the ecology of the Lagoon, the quality of life in Placencia, and its effect on our economic and social structures.

Therefore, we invite you to read the proposal, as as well as some of the local  responses generated by it.

If you have any comments, please email them to us and we will forward them to the appropriate people in our community for review and consideration.

(Also, please excuse the slow download times, we wanted to reproduce the actual documents rather than retyping their content.)
