Negril Chamber outraged over sand mining operations

The Negril Chamber of Commerce is today expressing outrage at what appears to be shady sand mining activities connected to major hotel developments in Negril and elsewhere on the North Coast.

“It was brought to our attention by multiple persons that sand is being mined in the Negril area and moved by several trucks in the dead of night to a major hotel development in recent days. We are further told that the sand is stockpiled at the development in question for movement to another property on the north coast”, said the Negril Chamber of Commerce in a statement today.
