Freeport Bahamas Seen as Rich Man's Brasilia
Freeport in the Bahamas, created by Wallace Groves, is described as a modern, planned city with factories, hotels, residential areas, and a deep water port. The Hawksbill Creek Act of 1955 granted 50,000 acres with tax exemptions until 1999 and duties until 2054, in exchange for development and public services. Freeport grew from 250 residents in 1960 to about 8,500 today.
