AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoConsumer Protection: The US Virgin Islands Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs says pennies already in circulation remain legal tender, and businesses can’t use the one-cent coin shortage to routinely round cash up, refuse cash, or drop required payment options—DLCA also warns any cash-rounding system must be fair, consistent, symmetrical, and clearly disclosed. Public Health: Clorox is recalling about 6.3 million scented Mistolin and Lestoil multi-purpose cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the USVI after possible contamination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa; DLCA is urging residents to stop using affected products, especially people with weakened immune systems or external medical devices. Local Infrastructure: The Virgin Islands Recovery and Development Agency flags root-caused damage on Road Town’s DeCastro Street sidewalks as an ongoing trip and accessibility hazard, saying temporary fixes won’t solve the problem and that wider, ADA-compliant sidewalk reconstruction is planned. Climate Resilience Funding: Deputy Premier Julian Fraser launched the first call for proposals under the Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund, with $1 million available for community resilience projects and a focus on moving from setup to implementation. Energy & Rates: BVI Electricity Corporation says 95% of customers use 1,500 kWh or less monthly, and that a Sept. 1 fuel-subsidy adjustment won’t change bills for those customers—only usage above that level is affected.
