Apologies if someone already posted this. A friend sent me the link and it looks like good news:
NPS Purchases 58 Acres of Estate Maho Bay from Trust for Public Land
It’s official — the National Park Service is the proud new owner of 58 acres of pristine land in Estate Maho Bay, thanks to $2.25 million in funding from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund.
NPS announced last week that the department had officially purchased 58 acres of land within V.I. National Park — including Maho Bay beach and inland property climbing up to the nearby ridge — from Trust for Public Land.
“This is a success story on a number of levels,” said NPS Director Jonathan Jarvis in a prepared statement. “The Trust for Public Land has been out front on Maho Bay, preserving important lands and keeping them undeveloped.”
