Michael Capponi Uses
Expertise to Give Haiti a
  Future (Part 1 of 2)
       Michael Capponi
Michael Capponi


Since the devastating earthquake of 2010, many relief efforts in Haiti have
focused on short-term goals. Teams work to find housing, shelter, and safe
food and water for the millions displaced by the deadly quake. While Florida
humanitarian and businessman Michael Capponi initially shared this focus,
multiple visits to Haiti have convinced him that without long-term economic
growth, the people of Haiti will not be able to improve their circumstances. Mr.
Capponi has developed an innovative solution to the problem. He believes that
rebranding and renewal could transform Haiti into an economically and
politically stable country with a bright future.
Michael Capponi


Michael Capponi, who earned his fortune through high end entertainment and
real estate projects in Florida, sees a large, untapped potential in Haiti. He has
begun his renewal efforts in the oceanfront town of Jacmel. Working with local
businessmen, politicians, and artists, Mr. Capponi hopes to develop a thriving
center of arts, tourism, and education. If he and his partners can create jobs in
the area, they can create a strong middle class. And, as many experts point
out, the lack of a strong economy and stable middle class is what leaves Haiti
so vulnerable to natural disasters that would barely register in more wealthy
nations.
Michael Capponi



The second part of this article will discuss why Mr. Capponi sees Jacmel as the
ideal area in which to begin a Haitian economic renewal.
