Montserrat has begun work on the site for the planned hotel in the Little Bay area.

Material from the ongoing Gun Hill Excavation Project is currently being offloaded at the proposed site, the government said.

The site still needs to be raised four metres above sea level to accommodate a hotel, which is the brainchild of the Montserrat Development Corporation.

The MDC is currently looking to attract investors for what it said would be an “affordable luxury hotel” that would form part of the Little Bay/Carr’s Bay development master plan.

The Gun Hill excavation and demolition project is slated for completion around the end of January, officials said earlier this month, ahead of its stated Feb. 18 deadline.
