CEO of the Dominica International Airport Project, Samuel Johnson, is hopeful that a resolution can soon be reached regarding the situation at Deux Branches.

A few Dominicans have expressed concerns about the quarrying activities at the stone field in Deux Branches and have staged protests at the site, which have resulted in a two-month halt to construction at the airport.

Johnson says the team is working with the physical planning department and the government to address these concerns.
