Road Town Sidewalk Safety: The Virgin Islands Recovery and Development Agency says DeCastro Street sidewalk slabs are still being lifted by spreading tree roots, creating trip hazards and blocking wheelchair access, and says temporary fixes won’t hold—so it’s moving to wider, ADA-compliant reconstruction with safer ramps, drainage and better pedestrian connections. Climate Funding Kickoff: Deputy Premier Julian Fraser launched the first call for proposals under the Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund, with about $1 million available now—$900,000 for community “grand projects” and $100,000 for capacity-building and education—aimed at shifting from planning to implementation. BVI Financial Services Talent: The BVI Financial Services Commission rolled out the Robert A. Mathavious Scholarship Grant, offering up to $5,000 for three applicants each year to pursue approved professional development at HLSCC’s Robert Mathavious Institute for Financial Services. Digital Assets Oversight: DWF Labs says it received BVI FSC approval as a Virtual Asset Service Provider, enabling regulated OTC trading and market-making services through its BVI entity.

Consumer Alerts: Clorox recalled 6.3 million bottles of scented Mistolin and Lestoil cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the USVI due to possible bacteria exposure risk, and DLCA reminded USVI businesses that pennies remain legal tender and cash-rounding can’t be used to deny payment options. Agriculture Education Grant: Johnson Bayou High School FFA received $4,650 through Tractor Supply’s Grants for Growing to build a small hydroponic lab for hands-on plant science and sustainable food production.
