The Frederiksted First Plan

By Raymond T. James, Esq. | #20

Priority 2

Fix WAPA for Good

Audit WAPA, push for propane + solar micro-grid for Frederiksted town so lights stay on and bills go down 30%. Deliver reliable power, safer water, and infrastructure improvements that lower costs and improve everyday life.

Priority 3

Public Safety in the West

Substation that is actually manned 24/7, restore street lights, expand cameras at high-crime intersections, youth midnight basketball at D.C. Canegata Rec. Give kids something to do and more positive opportunities.

Priority 4

Small Business on Strand

Tax incentives and facade grants for shops on Strand St, King St, and Market St — let Cruzan businesses own the waterfront, not just outside investors.

Priority 6

Finish Paul E. Joseph Stadium & Track

Fully fund completion of Frederiksted track and Frederiksted Pool. Our kids shouldn't have to drive to town to compete. Turn the stadium into an economic, recreational, and community asset for Frederiksted.

Priority 8

Clean Up Frederiksted Town

Monthly sweep with Public Works + community groups. Fix sidewalks on Strand St, demolish abandoned buildings that bring crime, add more trash cans and lights.

“Frederiksted built St. Croix. It's time St. Croix invests back in Frederiksted.”
