He added, “We are excited to create a plan that respects everyone’s individual experience across the islands, while striving to develop a shared path forward and achieve a common vision for our future land and water use.” Since the CLWUP must reflect the interests and goals of our communities, DPNR will be using a variety of tools and platforms to reach business owners, stakeholders, and residents, to obtain input and ideas. Commissioner Oriol invites all residents, businesses, and stakeholders to attend the upcoming Town Hall Meetings to share your values and ideas to help shape the final plan. In an effort to accommodate as many residents as possible, the Town Hall Meetings will be held twice on each island. The dates, times and locations for the Town Hall Meetings are as follows: ST. THOMAS: Tuesday, February 28th 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm Wednesday, March 1st 12 pm – 2 pm @ DPNR Offices/Viya Building in Tutu Park Mall ST.
