AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Territory’s political future: Lt. Gov. Tregenza Roach told UVI graduates on St. Croix that the U.S. Virgin Islands’ current status isn’t set in stone, explaining that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t fully apply here and that Congress holds sweeping authority—then floating the idea of deeper ties with the British Virgin Islands. Public health watch: The CDC says dengue is surging in the U.S. via travel—average annual cases jumped 359% in 2024 vs. 2010–2023, with most cases linked to the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico and the USVI—prompting a travel notice for multiple countries. Local logistics pressure: The VI Port Authority is responding after a San Juan docking restriction involving Water Spirit Freight Services raised concerns about cargo disruption for USVI shippers and businesses. Opioid settlement momentum: States continue receiving Purdue Pharma/Sackler settlement funds as the legal process moves forward nationwide. Access to care: A new at-home STI testing program is rolling out, with a focus on reducing barriers for people who delay getting help.
