VIDOL SECURES APPROVAL FOR GOVERNMENT BUILDING OWNERSHIP
USVI – The Virgin Islands Department of Labor (VIDOL) is excited to announce a significant milestone with the 35th Legislature approving the measure that paved the way to move forward with acquiring ownership of its current building on St. Thomas. This move, transitioning the location into a government-owned building, stands as a crucial development amidst the prevailing financial challenges faced by the Government of the Virgin Islands.
VIDOL extends appreciation to the Senators of the 35th Legislature for their steadfast dedication and pivotal role in facilitating this strategic purchase. Special acknowledgment goes to Senator Angel L. Bolques Jr., the sponsor of the Bill, who demonstrated a clear understanding of its importance and substantial benefits.
“We commend All of the Senators of the 35th Legislature for their thorough due diligence. Their careful consideration reflects their commitment to the well-being of our community,” stated Commissioner Gary Molloy.
Also, Commissioner Molloy, on behalf of VIDOL, expresses sincere gratitude for the cooperation, patience, and support received from the landlords and their families throughout the entire process.
This successful acquisition of ownership, transforming the location into a government building, underscores VIDOL’s commitment to a stable future. The achievement is a result of collaborative efforts from the Senators, Office of the Governor, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Property & Procurement, Department of Finance, and the entire VIDOL Team.
