"USVI acquires Maho Bay property for national park"

Post by bdkane »

Hey Guys- below is an article I came across on the internet I thought id share,
Would this include the Maho Bay Campgrounds? Is it possible it reopens?
Either way I assume this is good news...

The land in the article does not include the Campground property - it is not going to reopen.
The parcel was part of the Marsh Family estate and had, I think, 13 different family owners involved - each had to negotiate a settlement - and many of them ended up with smaller acreage for separate homesites. It was a long and involved process and a testament to the Trust for Public Land for their dedicated support.
