Jeff Gram is very interested in building a hotel in the north or south of the country, feasibility studies are underway. Mr. Mitchell and Russell are in talks with the owner of the Hotel Mont Joli in Cap Haitien, Mr. Nicholas Bussenius for a joint venture, a project of 5 million dollars to renovate and expand its capacity. The day after the end of this mission [Monday, March 19], Jérome Russell met with partners to decide where he will invest. Tuesday evening, the Consul of Atlanta was in meeting with Mr. Benoît to follow up. Hopefully, that the others Consulates follow the same dynamic, to make the economic development a reality in Haiti.
