A delegation representing the merchants of Marigot was received by Vice President Wendel COCKS, in charge of economic development of the territory, Wednesday 09 November 2016, at the hotel of the community. Following the mobilization of traders, in view of the work carried out in the city center on the water and sanitation network, the purpose of this meeting was to discuss the possibilities of financial compensation in favor of the companies impacted by this work.

Aware of the impact of this work on commercial activity in Marigot, Vice-President Wendel COCKS was in favor of the creation of a commission of amicable compensation for commercial damage as a result of works. The President Aline HANSON will submit to the vote of the territorial council, at the beginning of December next, the creation of this commission.
Work meetings have already been scheduled (as early as this month) to prepare the legal framework for this committee and to move quickly on the compensation procedure. Present at the table, the president of the CCISM, Mr. Jean ARNELL, indicated that the CCISM would soon open a permanency to accompany companies to prepare their cases of harm.
The Commission, composed of local elected representatives, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, representatives of merchant associations, a representative of the Association of Chartered Accountants and technical departments, will be responsible for examining claims submitted by Traders, to issue a reasoned opinion and make a compensation proposal for each application. The final decision will be taken by deliberation of the Executive Board.
According to the timetable defined between the parties, the commission would meet as early as December, and compensation would occur during the first quarter 2017.
This is the first time that a commission of this type has been set up in Saint-Martin; It will decide on the current and future work carried out on the territory, as it exists elsewhere in France when major works are undertaken.
In addition, the president will inform the social and fiscal bodies by mail of the arrangements put in place, so that they are attentive to requests for accompaniment (moratoria, etc.) that these companies could request.

Prior to this meeting, Vice-President Wendel COCKS, assisted by the Water and Sanitation Engineering Technicians (EEASM), made a point with the traders on the progress of the works. The EEASM undertook to make every effort to meet the announced reopening period since the start of work on 30 November 2016, and reminded that, in view of the dilapidated pipelines and the considerable loss of water Drinking water, these works had to be carried out urgently.

"By winning the US presidential election, Donald Trump became the president of all Americans. It is a democratic choice. I congratulate the new president on his victory, and I wish him good luck in his new role.

Because of its geographical position, Saint-Martin has always had privileged relations with America. Historically, Saint-Martin has maintained cultural and family ties with the United States, many families are settled there, and part of our youth is studying there. We also have strong tourism links with this country, and we wish to see these cordial and fraternal relations continue. The new president also has a connection with Saint-Martin, because he owns property and must appreciate the many assets of our territory. "

President of the Territorial Council of Saint-Martin

Works on the water network

The Saint-Martin Water and Sanitation Establishment informs the public of the closure of Kennedy Street in downtown Marigot on Tuesday 08 November 2016 from 19 hours. The reopening of Kennedy Street will be effective on Wednesday 09 November 2016 at 6 hours of the morning.
The EEASM is obliged to close this section, because the work to be carried out is delicate. Indeed, unlisted cables have been discovered, in particular a high voltage line. It was therefore decided to finalize the installation of new pipes at night to make as soon as possible.
The portion of road located between the Tourist Office and the branch of the street of General de Gaulle is currently closed and will reopen on Thursday 10 November. The deviation will be done by the Sea Front.

The laying of pipelines and fiber optics on rue de la Liberté is now complete. The workers began to concretize the street, beginning with the stretch between Rue de la République and Rue Félix Eboué. In order to avoid deterioration of the infrastructure, this portion of the street will be reopened once the final coating (asphalt) is laid.

Aware of the inconvenience caused to traders and local residents, the EEASM is making every effort to keep its calendar and reopen road traffic, as planned on 30 November 2016.

Reminder: This work to rehabilitate the water and sanitation network was a necessity. Never taken into account so far, the lack of maintenance of the networks has made the pipes dilapidated leading to numerous leaks and a considerable loss of drinking water (close to 70%). Four months of work, carried out in the low tourist season, were planned to rehabilitate these networks once and for all, and to offer the population suitable facilities.
