AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Climate Action Funding: Deputy Premier Julian Fraser launched the first call for proposals under the Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund, shifting from “establishment to implementation” with $1 million available for community resilience—$900,000 for “grand projects” and $100,000 for capacity-building and education. Disaster Readiness: The Royal Navy’s HMS Trent tested a heavy-lift drone with Virgin Islands first responders, demonstrating rapid ship-to-shore supply drops to help when hurricanes damage roads and ports. Coastal Access vs. Conservation: Territorial At-Large Rep. Stacy Mather pushed back on proposed reserved access at The Baths, saying beach access “must not be bargained away” even as conservation funding talks continue. Public Health Recall: Clorox recalled 6.3 million bottles of Mistolin and Lestoil cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands due to possible Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination, with higher risk flagged for people with weakened immune systems or medical devices. Cybersecurity & Courts: Thomson Reuters disclosed a breach of its C-Track case management platform that exposed sensitive court records and personal data, including in the U.S. Virgin Islands, after unauthorized access was detected June 30 but occurred earlier in March. Local Infrastructure: RDA raised concerns that tree roots are lifting DeCastro Street sidewalk slabs, creating trip hazards and limiting mobility access, and says wider ADA-compliant repairs are planned. Community Agriculture: Johnson Bayou High School FFA received a $4,650 Grants for Growing award to build a small hydroponic lab for hands-on learning in water, nutrients, and sustainable food production.
