Interested in conserveration / preservation?

St. Croix's Anguilla Landfill is on track to close by the end of this year. The Port Authority has received entitlement grants from the FAA based on the number of planes landing in St. Croix.  The FAA has prohibited the Port Authority from applying for discretionary money because there was no credible plan in place to close the landfill, which the FAA said poses a safety hazard at the airport due to possible bird strikes.  Thus the FAA has restored its eligibility to The Port Authority to apply for the Discretionary Grants.


DID YOU KNOW? AND THAT.....

The Washingtonian Magazine voted Cruzian Rum the best.

May 6th - Ground breaking ceremony for Capt Morgan Distillery took place. St. Croix will definately be the top rum producer!

They have a quite varried menu.  Lobster is my favorite, but they offer many other items.  Want soup and sandwich, maybe just a salad?  How about surf and turf?

They have so many items both Continental and Cruzian that are so popular with locals and tourists alike.
