The V.I. Department of Planning and Natural Resources has announced that pursuant to Virgin Islands Code, Title 12, Chapter 21, Section 904-9, meetings of the St. Thomas Committee of the Virgin Islands Coastal Zone Management Commission have been scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, at 4:00 p.m.

In an effort to help to reduce the global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), this meeting will be held via the video conferencing platform Zoom. 

Items on the agenda include the Decision Meeting for Federal Consistency Determination Application No. CZT-09-22(FC). The Virgin Islands Department of Health proposes the complete demolition of the existing Knud Hansen WIC Building, followed by the construction of the replacement building.

The replacement building is of the same footprint (2,640 s.f.) and consists of roughly 5,000 square feet to be constructed. The project was awarded funding (FNS-529 through the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service Program (USDA FNS)) to assist in the repair and restoration of buildings, equipment, technology, and other infrastructure damages as a consequence of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The building will be a two story-high concrete structure.

The completed facility will include the St. Thomas WIC clinic, executive offices, classrooms, and storage. The proposed project site is located at 1309 Hospital Ground, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.
