The reef is already under stress from climate change, run off, etc. Any little bit we do will help it's survival. The governor has already endorsed 3 bills to clean up the environment. A ban on plastic bags has already passed the senate and is on his desk for signature. A bottle deposit is in Senate...

Where does STJ get its power from?? Does it have its own independent power plant ? Oil burning?? Power comes from STT. The power plant is in bad shape and power fails regularly. The plant burns oil but they are converting to propane. Soon come. What percentage of STJ homes have public water?? Where ...

The folks that own Woody's in Cruz are/were planning to open a Woody's Seaside. Word is they ran into problems with the septic system. Haven't seen any action there is a long time. Voyages building was purchased and is being renovated by Paul Saber who used to own Wharfside a while back. Plans for a...

This development is years off if it happens at all. The local CZM may issue a permit but the Army Corps of Engineers have the final say. This area is so shallow. The ACE is known for NOT issuing dredging permits. According to VI land records, Brett Jefferson does not own the waterfront. It is owned ...

Cinnamon Bay Campground and the land it sits on is owned by the Natl Park and contracts with someone to operate the concessions. They will never block access to Cinnamon Bay beach. You can go t...
