AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Airport Tech & Infrastructure: At Cyril E. King Airport (STT), automated baggage conveyor belts reportedly failed during a record 91°F heatwave, forcing passengers into manual handling after paying premium fares and baggage fees. Water Safety & Lab Reliability: DPNR’s weekly beach report flags one unsafe St. Thomas shoreline, but St. Croix results were wiped out by a lab equipment malfunction, leaving no official Enterococci readings for the weekend. Local STEM & Education Readiness: Senators grilled Education and Maintenance Bureau officials on whether school reconstruction and special education services will be ready for the Aug. 10 return, including security plans for the new Arthur A. Richards Pre-K-8 campus. Cannabis Regulation: The Office of Cannabis Regulation opened cannabis license applications across USVI, with micro-cultivation and R&D available territory-wide and a Sept. 15, 2026 deadline via the online portal. Connectivity Rules: Starlink updated Starlink Roam so the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands share one roaming region, with travel registration required for use outside the home country. Port Tech Investment: Tropical Shipping ordered four Konecranes Generation 6 mobile harbor cranes, including first-ever deployments to St. Croix and St. Thomas, aiming to boost quayside cargo handling and cut emissions.
