George Town waterfront improvements continue

 
Caymanian architect Robert Johnson is passionate about improving George Town's historic waterfront.

Mr. Johnson recently met with the Chamber Council to update them on the progress he and 12 land owners are making to redevelop a 1,272 linear foot area stretching from Da Fish Shack Restaurant to the cruise ship terminal. The most recent segment has been built adjacent to the Fish Market by Chris Johnson, Robert's father, who's keen to support the beautification efforts along North Church Street.
