THE head of developers Harcourt is flying into Jersey for an emergency meeting with States Members in the wake of the Waterfront scandal.
Its ‘exclusivity deal’ which gives the Irish-based company preferred developer status for the £330m Waterfront finance/residential district runs out at the end of the month, and is likely to be discussed with ministers.
The decision on whether or not to renew the deal will be made by the Waterfront Enterprise Board on 24 June, after consultation with the Council of Ministers.
If it is extended – and WEB chairman Gerald Voisin has given every indication that it will – Harcourt will remain in place as preferred developers, but if it is not, they could be out of the picture, and out of pocket.
It is understood that the chairman of the company, Pat Doherty, is coming to Jersey on Monday to meet Members and the media.
