Ok.. then actually it's along side the old Gd case Rd.. But in the book of Will Johnson, "For the love of St Maarten" the caption says " when cotton was king, Hope Estate", so I guess the whole area is called that way and not only where the quarry of Mr Petit is located!

Any business like everywhere else in the world have to be registered and in proper order to function! Except if you have a couple of millions of dollars to invest, I would suggest you to forget about Orient Bay!.... All of those business are concessions already attributed to people and I don't believe that there will be new concessions to be created or sold to people in a near future.

A lot of them go back to Eur
