St. John USVI, Plan Cruz Bay
In 2017, Category 5 Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit the U.S. Virgin Islands within two weeks of each other, causing widespread devastation.
Opportunity
As part of ongoing recovery efforts, HW is leading the Plan Cruz Bay project to create a community-led vision for the future of Cruz Bay in St. John. The project features extensive public engagement and participatory planning, including an intensive multi-day design charrette.
Solution
The outcomes of Plan Cruz Bay were designed to serve as a supplement to the Department of Planning and Natural Resources’ HW-led Comprehensive Land and Water Use Plan and will serve as a guiding document to define residents’ future vision of the area, inform government decisions, and guide implementation actions.
Results
Plan recommendations include proposals for affordable housing, transportation, community spaces, stormwater management, and land use.
