Jude U. Hofschneider (R-Tinian), adding that they look forward to BIG opening their facility soon.<\/p>\n<p>Hofschneider said that, although no tourists are coming to the island yet, it does not mean that BIG\u2019s work has stopped.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThey\u2019re still committed to finishing it and we\u2019re working closely with the municipality and working closely with them,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>BIG is building the Tinian Ocean View Resort &amp; Casino. In March 2019, BIG and Wyndham Hotel Group held a hotel management signing ceremony for the Wyndham Hotel brand to create a Tinian five-star luxury hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Hofschneider also disclosed that with the military development on Tinian, there\u2019s several sectors or layers of military components that are moving ahead with their projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut not to discount the delay caused by all these pandemic directives and, of course, the recent [COVID-19] positive case [on Tinian]. That prolonged some of the progress. \u2026But it\u2019s moving forward. You just have to work through this pandemic situation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The senator said businesses on Tinian are excited with the current military development and that Tinian right now is just kind of waiting for things to get through with this pandemic. Hopefully, when there is already a vaccine and things go back to normal, they will see an increase in construction activities. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat construction activities would lure business activities\u2026and establish on Tinian,\u201d Hofschneider said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bridge Investment Group LLC is still moving forward with its casino project on Tinian, according&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":330115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-330131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
