Antiguan Prime Minister prepares to take over US airbase

The administration of Prime Minister Gaston Browne is entering into the second stage of the negotiations for the handover of the US Base—both land and assets—to the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.

The entire Cabinet accompanied the Prime Minister to the US Air Base on Tuesday, March 10, 2015, for a tour lasting more than three hours. The visit was intended to allow the decision-makers to get a first-hand assessment of the buildings, the machinery, the water and electrical supply systems, and the 217 acres of land that will become the property of the Antigua and Barbuda Government by late Summer 2015.
