Municipal officials have decided to acquire a glass-crushing machine for 75,000 euros to deal with the 800 tons of glass collected each year. Originally, recycled glass was shipped to France twice a year. Last year, St Martin purchased a glass-crushing machine, which St Barth made use of. Shortly, however, the glass will be crushed directly on the island, and much of the resulting product will be used as filler in certain construction projects.
Construction of four tennis courts is underway in the sports complex in St. Jean. The tennis courts are being built adjacent to the archery range and are projected to be completed by the end of June.
Public access to several beaches will be improved. Among these is the path from Flamands to Colombier as rain has eroded several parts of the narrow trail, making hiking a bit hazardous.
