With the opening of a chocolate factory just weeks away, investors behind the multi-million-dollar Heritage Village are poised to add more attractions to the menu.
While the deal is not formally “inked”, Graycliff executives have come to a “firm agreement” to bring an Androsia clothing factory to the development. The traditional batik fabric, produced on Andros for decades, will be given a modern twist as part of Nassau’s up-and-coming tourist attraction.
Phase one, including both the chocolate and androsia factories, represents a total investment of $20 million, according to Paolo Garzaroli, the president of Graycliff. The entire project should cost at least $25 million, although by the time it’s said and done, that number may easily rise.
The interactive element is reminiscent of the chocolate factory, Garzaroli explained, making Heritage Village a more interactive retail experience.
