This evening, Governor de Jongh will deliver his annual State of the Territory Address before a formal session of the 29th Legislature at the Earle B. Ottley Legislative Chambers on St. Thomas. 

In his remarks, the Governor will discuss some of the very hard truths facing all of the residents of our Territory. He will speak to the challenges that our business community and their employees, and our government workers are facing today, including the effects of the recent closing of the HOVENSA refinery on St. Croix. The governor will also lay out the Administration’s plans to ensure recovery for the Virgin Islands and call upon all who care deeply about our future to come together and make that recovery a reality.  He will also use his State of the Territory Address to update the public on his administration’s plans in the areas of education, energy, law enforcement and public safety, as well as economic development.

The State of the Territory Address, which begins tonight at 7 p.m., will be televised on a number of local and cable television channels and will be broadcast live on several Virgin Islands radio stations.
