Public Meeting Follow-up for New Commercial Use Authorization Policy

ST. JOHN, U.S. Virgin Islands— 

Virgin Islands National Park invites the local communities of St. John and St. Thomas to a public meeting to be held at the new Resources Management and Science conference room the evening of November 13, at 5:45 PM local time.  This meeting’s topic is a follow up of the July 10 meeting about the new online Commercial Use Authorization (CUA) application process issued by National Park Service entities. Virgin Islands National Park will be putting the new CUA policy into effect in January 2025.    

During the upcoming meeting, we will discuss details of the new online application process for CUA businesses within Virgin Islands National Park. These changes will be fully implemented at Virgin Islands National Park beginning January 1, 2025.  This meeting will be an opportunity to ask questions and learn how to apply for CUAs under the new online system, and also the new CUA application fee and market price management fee for the CUA program 

We look forward to seeing you at the public meeting on November 13, 2024, at the Virgin Islands National Park Lind Point Resource Management and Science buildings at 5:45 PM local time. A shuttle will be provided from the Cruz Bay Visitor Center at 5:30 PM local time and leave Lind Point at 6:45 PM.
