Justin Moorhead replied to the topic Envisioning a Virgin Islands economic development strategy in the forum Economy 7 months, 3 weeks ago
I was recently asked what prompted this particular discussion. It resulted from a proposal issued by the VIEDA soliciting proposals for an economic development strategy for the Territory. The studies requirements are extensive, which suggests to me that it will be awarded to a large consulting entity. There have been several relatively recent…[Read more]

Justin Moorhead replied to the topic On the Power of Planning for the Really, Really Long Term in the forum Economic Development 1 year, 7 months ago
Thanks for writing and allowing the article to be posted on this site, Doug. Brings back many memories.
A lot of credit is given to Chairman Peterson Zah for spearheading this effort. Zah does deserve credit because without his support it would not have moved forward to the Council.

Ivan. My thanks for sharing your article with this community.
Though the connection between agriculture and art is clear once you think about it, until your article focused my attention on the interrelationship, I must admit it was not appropriately considered and appreciated. Many media forms would not as easily exist without the work of…[Read more]

LLoyd. Thank you for your recent articles. They are insightful and on point.
I share your concern that in repairing /replacing/mitigation we are not giving appropriate thought to disaster risk reduction. Doing much of the same, even should the replacement and mitigation be appropriate to today’s reality, we fall short. What we do now needs…[Read more]

Justin Moorhead replied to the topic MANAGEMENT OF WATERSHED TO PROTECT MAGENS BAY AND RELATED ECOSYSTEMS in the forum Environment 2 years, 5 months ago
My thanks to Darlan for sharing this piece. Magens is truly the island’s jewel. For many years the beach was ranked one of the best in the world. Much of the way St.Thomas has developed reduces the star power draw of the bay. Its attractiveness is a natural phenomenon and our responsibility is to preserve it.
