St. Thomas Hebrew Congregation/Synagogue Charlotte Amalie $89,650.00 “These historic recovery projects represent just under $2 million dollars invested in our historic towns to preserve and restore our architectural heritage. DPNR extends special thanks to the Office of Disaster Recovery (ODR) and the Virgin Islands Public Finance Authority (PFA) for partnering with the VISHPO-Disaster Recovery Program,” said Commissioner Oriol. ODR and PFA provided the gap financing advances for some projects to begin, and/or complete their 2017 Hurricanes Irma and Maria recovery repairs. “Without this partnership, Subgrantees would not have been able to begin, as the Historic Building Recovery Program is a Reimbursement Grant; and many individuals do not have the upfront funding to hire contractors”, said Kim Blackett, Program Manager. Specials thanks and appreciation is also extended to the Department of Property and Procurement Vendor Management Division for the support provided to DPNR/VISHPO Historic Recovery Program’s Subgrantees with SAM registrations. “DPNR remains committed to working with the community, non-profit organizations, and agencies to restore and preserve our historic towns, sites, and cultural resources”, concluded Commissioner Oriol. The third and final round of grant recipients will be announced in the coming weeks.
