June 12 Governor Kenneth E. Mapp has directed the Virgin Islands Finance Department to release more than $30 million to pay AECOM for performing work on the Emergency Home Repair VI program, which is repairing thousands of damaged homes across the Territory. Of the total amount released, a check for $13.5 million will be issued to AECOM Tuesday with the balance being paid out by the end of the week. AECOM in turn will issue payments to all of its subcontractors, the Governor said. Until today, these payments were held up awaiting federal approval; however, the Governor was successful in making arrangements with FEMA Region II Federal Coordinating Officer William Vogel to allow the use of other funds previously approved for housing construction repairs until the new funding becomes available. Governor Mapp has been in negotiations with FEMA for weeks to find another option to avoid hindering the success of the Territory’s recovery. “I presented FEMA with a creative solution to immediately draw down federal funds that were already approved, but the release of the payments had been blocked because of FEMA procedures,” the Governor said. “FEMA was open to my suggestions and will be immediately releasing $13.5 million so that the contractors will keep working on home repairs, and even increase the pace of their work. This illustrates that good communication with our federal partners can cut through the red tape and we can come up with viable solutions.”.
