Moving forward with development on Tinian
Lt. Gov. Jude U. Hofschneider convened a meeting Wednesday with the Tinian Leadership and the Department of Public Lands to discuss the future of a parcel of public land on the southwest side of Tinian that’s now available for development.
“Once I was informed by DPL Secretary [Pete] Tenorio of the land’s availability, I felt it necessary to immediately bring together the leadership of Tinian so that a plan could be made on the future of this prime property,” said Hofschneider. “Already there are a few investors interested in developing the land, and through our efforts, DPL now has the right tools to begin responding to these developers and move the potential investments forward.”
The available public land is located on the southwest side of Tinian, between Lasarino and Puntan Diablo. The land was formerly leased by Marianas Resort Development Co.
Hofschneider explained that the development of this public land has long been delayed, and expressed the desire to immediately advance its progress for the betterment of the CNMI and its people.
Besides Hofschneider, present in the meeting Wednesday were Tenorio; Tinian Mayor Ramon Dela Cruz, Sens. Francisco Borja, Francisco Cruz, and Joaquin Borja; and Tinian Councilmen Antonio Borja, Steven Cabrera, and Ray Cing. (Office of the Lieutenant Governor)
