Dart Family Park in South Sound was in need of some love.
Opened in 2005, the park's last significant renovation was back in 2011. With the park's turning 15 years old on 9 April, Dart wanted to give it a good makeover.
Returning to a new normal after COVID-19
It was a long spring in the Cayman Islands, seemingly much longer than the 13 weeks and a day that typically mark the season of renewal. The onset of summer has brought a renewal of its own as most businesses have been allowed to reopen after several months of closure because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Dart developments and businesses, there is renewed activity as the hotels offer staycations, shops serve customers and staff members return to the office.
Since the Comfort Suites hotel closed for renovation in June, Dart has been working with local charities and the Ministry of Community Affairs to donate furniture and appliances from the property’s 120 guest rooms to families in need.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a global crisis on an unprecedented scale. At Dart, our collective priority is protecting the health and safety of our people and our community, while continuing daily business operations as best as we can.
As the virus continues to have an impact on human welfare and global economies, Dart is closely monitoring advice and guidelines from the Cayman Islands Government and international health authorities and adapting accordingly. With the successful steps taken locally to suppress the virus and widespread testing under way, the Cayman Islands is now at Level 2 (minimal suppression) in its management of COVID-19, facilitating the continued controlled reopening of the local economy.
R3 Cayman Foundation is finalising a grant application process and is requesting that organisations and/or individuals seeking funding complete a short survey outlining the type of assistance or services they provide in disaster preparedness, relief or recovery in the Cayman Islands. Guided by our values of innovation and teamwork, Dart remains proud to be part of the establishment of R3 Cayman Foundation.
A controlled reopening of the local construction industry will start Tuesday, 19 May following the last two weeks of COVID-19 frontline testing. The Cayman Islands Government says this decision paves the way for work to begin on approved construction sites following Department of Planning inspections and health screenings.
