WHAT: This extension results from a collaborative effort with the Honorable Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett and the Honorable Senator-At-Large Angel Bolques Jr. following a community meeting yesterday, February 21, 2023, due to comments and issues on difficulties submitting commentary and information during the initial public comment period.

We genuinely appreciate the enthusiastic commitment of the Virgin Islands community, particularly the citizens of St. John, which has been essential to the development and process. We look forward to welcoming their comments, suggestions, and concerns.
