THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine officially opened the Kilgyn/ Store Bay Local Road/ Friendship connector road on September 16, improving access to the new ANR Robinson International Airport, Crown Point.

Augustine said the project started in the vicinity of $65 million, but the final tabulations are ongoing. THA Minority Leader Kelvon Morris has speculated that the road would cost over $100 million.

Augustine said, “I expect that when the accounting officers do their tallies and account for the setbacks, the times that the contractor could not work and the variations that happened, that that cost will go up eventually, but we are very much prepared to be open with you in so far as what this cost,” he said.
