North Drowned Caye - it's a project of enduring mystery. Developer Mike Feinstein plans to build a megaplex on the caye which sits just off Belize City. He also plans to build a causeway from the city to the caye. That's a development on a scale not previously contemplated in Belize.

Excerpt of Infomercial: "...an elevated causeway and bridge path that will connect North Drowned Caye to Belize City across from the Gabourel Lane entrance to Marine Parade Boulevard. Residential homes and condominiums, a commercial village with shops and services, a convention and casino hall, three hotel complexes, and a marina - all to be established on North Drowned Caye..."
The EIA is now pending approval from NEAC.
