St. Croix To Be Studied for National Heritage Status
From The St. Thomas Source:
July 28, 2005- Getting on board with efforts to revitalize St. Croix, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed legislation on Tuesday to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of establishing National Heritage areas throughout the island."I can think of no more fitting place that should be studied for possible designation as a National Heritage Area than my home island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands," Delegate to Congress Donna M. Christensen said.
According to a recent press release, Christensen pitched the island to national representatives by playing up its cultural and historical achievements. "The island of St. Croix has a long, distinguished and varied history, including being the site where Christopher Columbus first stepped onto what is now American soil," the delegate said.
