Cabinet Meeting – 14th December, 2022

His Excellency, the Governor Mr. John J. Rankin, CMG, chaired the Meeting held on 14th December, 2022 at the Premier's Conference Room, Cutlass Tower.

Good afternoon to all the beautiful people of the Virgin Islands.

I am extremely pleased that we are finally able to break ground for what is perhaps one of the most revolutionary and transformative initiatives in Anegada and in the Virgin Islands as a whole. This is a major step in our transition to green and sustainable energy.

During the Premier’s One-on-One Update on Current Matters Press Briefing on 6th January, 2023, a question was asked about the hiring of three persons to the Government of the Virgin Islands. 

A pleasant good morning to all. The completion of the ESHS Redevelopment project, signifies a major investment in the infrastructure that supports education in the Virgin Islands. After 5 school years and one term, the full complement of staff and students of the Elmore Stoutt High School finally returned to the same campus, for full day school for the first time since the storms of 2017. In this moment, at this time, the gratitude and pride that I feel as an alumna, former teacher, now Minister, is unexplainable.

Good morning to all the people of the Virgin Islands; persons present and those joining us on the airwaves and via the Internet, and members of the media.

A pleasant good morning is extended to all the beautiful people of these beautiful Virgin Islands, especially the principal, administrators, educators and students of the Elmore Stout High School (ESHS).

In 2017, the August floods and the Hurricanes Irma and Maria in September completely devastated the Elmore Stoutt High School Campus. Administration, teachers and students were displaced and dislocated. 

Greetings to the beautiful people of the Virgin Islands. As we welcome the New Year, 2023, we do so with hopes of brighter days for everyone.
