Hurricane Dorian struck the Abaco Islands on Sept. 1 with sustained winds exceeding 175 miles per hour before moving to Grand Bahama Island the following day, where it stalled out for nearly 36 hours at roughly the same intensity. Both places sustained catastrophic damage, displacing a combined 70,000 residents -- a number representing 20% of the Bahamas’ entire population.
To distribute the money, Goldstuck notes the fund will soon convene a reconstruction committee -- to be appointed by NEXUS Luxury Collection co-owners investor “That organization will be working very closely with the Bahamian government to make sure that the resources are going to where they are most needed, and where the most vulnerability exists,” he says.
