Saint Lucia has a developing economy based around tourism and agriculture. The economy has been transitioning away from its reliance on banana exports as trade preferences have changed. Tourism now accounts for nearly half of GDP. The US and CARICOM are Saint Lucia's largest trade partners. Importing goods typically involves working with a local agent or distributor due to the small domestic market. Sea transport is important given the island geography, with major ports located in Vieux Fort and Castries.

History of City of Doral
Two real estate developers called Doris and Alfred Kaskel who bought 2400 acres of land in late 1950s established City of Doral in the state of Florida. The land was swampy between NW 36 and 74 streets and from NW 79 to NW 117 avenues; they bought the land for $ 49,000 with the aim of building a hotel and a golf course. The Kaskel’s constructed the Carillon Hotel and Doral Beach Hotel on Miami Beach. On the bought land, they constructed a country club and established a hotel, which they named as Doral, which is a combination of their names. So guests at the Miami Beach would be transported to the country club, which featured blue, red and par 3 golf courses. Among the events that were hosted at the country club was Florida’s major PGA event, which was the first Doral Open Invitational (City of Doral, 2020). Subsequently, guests frequented the hotels and the country club.
Between 1980 and 2000, Doral’s grandson called Bill built Doral estates and engaged in a joint venture to build the Doral park. Because of building the estate, younger families flooded the area for shopping sprees because the area had not parks, stores, or schools. The tenants and buyers of the Doral estate came together as a community; whereas there were no traffic problems the rapid construction of the estate and the attraction of many buyers and tenants due to the low cost led the county to impose a building moratorium (City of Doral, 2020). The high population and lack of amenities led to increase in the cost of services. The community in the area established a West Dade Federation of Homeowner Associations in 1989 to safeguard the welfare of the community. As a result of the federations’ effort, there was establishment of police station, lighting, landscaping and roads in the area.
Over time, the ownership of Doral country club and hotel changes when Donald Trump bought the club in 2012 for $150 million. Due to change in ownership, the name of the club changed to Trump National Doral Gold Club. The reputation of the club for its golf courses continued and expanded internationally; for example, the Blue Monster continued to host PGA Tour Tournament until 2016. Apparently, the City of Doral attracts many companies, families, businesses and retires (City of Doral, 2020). Between 2010 and 2016, the population of City of Dorol increased by 26.1% by 12,000 people to 58,000 residents. When the city incorporated in 2003, the population was 22,709, which is half its current population (Madan, 2017).
Financial Developments since 2014
During the last four years, the City of Doral experienced increased construction of buildings and gro.

Special agents from the Army Criminal Investigation Com-
mand (CID) are once again warning Internet users worldwide See pages 9 & 10 for
to be extra vigilant and not to fall prey to Internet scams or more calendar updates.
impersonation fraud -- especially scams promising true love,
but only end up breaking hearts and bank accounts. The vic-
tims are most often unsuspecting women, 30 to 55 years old,
who think they are romantically involved on the Internet with
American Soldiers, when in fact they are being cyber-robbed
by perpetrators thousands of miles away. The majority of the "romance scams," as
they have been dubbed, are being perpetrated on social media, dating-type websites
where unsuspecting females are the main target. These scams are outright theft and
are a grave misrepresentation of the Army and the tremendous amount of support
programs and mechanisms that exist for Soldiers today, especially those serving over-
seas.

3. Building Careers for Our Older Veteran’s
While much focus has been devoted to education and training for our younger Veterans, we have not
lost sight that we have another group who has served our Nation with distinction. Many of this group
may already have some education and training, they need additional assistance to prepare them for a
changing career market.
In November 2011, the President signed into law the Vow to Hire Heroes Act. This Act does many
things to prepare Veterans for careers after military service, including one provision that specifically
targets older veterans. The Veterans Retraining Assistance Program, better known as VRAP, is designed to give up to
12 months of benefits for unemployed Veterans to jump-start into a new, high-demand career field. This provision spe-
cifically applies to unemployed Veterans who are between 35 and 60, and not
eligible for any other education benefit. The law limits the benefit to 99,000 Veterans. Since May, 2012, over 75,000
Veterans have applied and over 62,000 have already been approved to participate in the program.
VRAP doesn't end with the provision of education; it goes one step further by assisting Veterans find a career. When a
Veteran completes the education or training program, they are then eligible to leverage the Department of Labor pro-
grams designed for Veterans.
Help get the word out - make it a point to tell someone who may know an unemployed Veteran now, as the program will
end by March 2014.
For information on the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program, visit http://www.benefits.va.gov/VOW/education.htm or
