Governor Bryan spoke to the international firm about the territory's "unmatched stability, pro-business policies, and strategic location" as "exceptional advantages for business investment and economic growth" during a virtual webinar on Tuesday, while in Washington, D.C. 

Pointing to St. Croix, the territory's leader hailed the big island as a key hub for economic expansion, calling it “a prime landscape for long-term investment.”

“We’re experiencing a perfect storm of opportunity,” he said. “With comprehensive fiscal incentives, major infrastructure modernization, and a full-scale transition to renewable energy, the Virgin Islands—especially St. Croix—is a place where business can thrive with predictability and vision.”

Mr. Bryan, according to Government House, went on to outline recent advancements in the territory’s energy infrastructure, including solar power integration, expanded renewable generation, underground electrical distribution, and an overhauled energy delivery system led by the V.I. Water and Power Authority.

Governor Bryan concluded by inviting attendees to visit the territory and explore opportunities firsthand: “We are open for business and ready to welcome forward-thinking investors looking for stability, growth, and partnership.”
