Public Interest Meetings This Week

Tonight at the Caravelle Hotel conference room, there will be a public hearing to address the minimum sizes of imported spiny lobsters. It will begin at 7:00 pm, and it should be interesting. If nothing else, with everything being so expensive these days, it’ll provide free entertainment during a less exciting time of year.

Also, I’m very excited because I’m on Donna’s list. We got an e-mail from the office of the Delegate to Congress, Donna M. Christian-Christensen about a “St. Croix National Heritage Areas Study Meeting”. This is being run in conjunction with the National Park Service. Meetings will be held from 6:30-7:30pm, the first one on Thursday evening, July 24th, at the American Legion Hall, Hospital Street, C’sted; and also on Friday, July 25th at Pier 69’s courtyard, F’sted. After the F’sted meeting, there will be a cultural presentation from 7:30 until. Another meeting will be held at UVI’s Great Hall on Monday, July 28th. again at 6:30.

They invite the entire community to participate. “Please come out and share your ideas, concerns, suggestions, and visions for the future of a possible National Heritage Area on St. Croix.”

For more information on the public meetings, contact delegate Christensen’s office at 778-5900. For additional information on the cultural presentation, contact Frandelle Girard at 719-5455, or chantvi@viaccess.net.
