Plaskett, Bryan Discuss Bipartisan Budget Act Progress and Recovery Projects

Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett, Governor Albert Bryan Jr., Office of Disaster Recovery Director Adrienne Williams-Octalien and senior Bryan-Roach Administration officials met Tuesday with a team from Witt-O’Brien’s and FEMA’s Acting Region 2 Administrator Chad Gorman and his team about the status of recovery projects throughout the territory that resulted from the 2017 hurricanes Irma and Maria.

The daylong discussions centered on how the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is applying the mandates and requirements regarding the funding and federal assistance for the U.S. Virgin Islands’ recovery from the back-to-back Category 5 storms that are dictated by the U.S. Congress’ Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.

Discussions focused on about three dozen recovery projects from the education, emergency services, healthcare and communications sectors, as well as dozens of repairs and resiliency upgrades to roads, sewer and water systems, and other needed infrastructure projects.
