Mayor Moya Restaurant In Executive Jeopardy?

Another project that seems to be on ice is former Belize City Mayor Zenaida Moya's proposed restaurant.

The restaurant - which she wants to name Caribbean Breeze - would sit above the water where the Triple J water taxi terminal used to be.

Moya had already accessed financing and had driven concrete piles into the riverbed - but as solid as those piles were - it seems as if she was building a castle in the sky.

According to what we heard, the project ran into some serious red-tape - which went all the way up to Cabinet. As we understand it, that's where a mysterious stop order came from which has threatened to nix the project.

We say mysteriously because - from what we could find out - the approval from the Department of the Environment remains intact.

But, it seems higher ups are responding to pressure from the judiciary which does not want a restaurant in the already congested area. Couple that with the fact that the environmental approval is said to be for a pier and not a restaurant, and it would appear that the project seems to be facing a number of fatal exceptions.

Moya would not comment - but we have heard from her camp that they have received no stop order.
