Dale A. Gregory Transportation Center at Cyril E. King Airport
\nOfficially Completed and Opens for Public Parking on Monday<\/h1>\n

St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands \u2014 The construction of the Dale A. Gregory Transportation Center is complete. The Virgin Islands Port Authority hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday to commemorate the completion of the modern transit hub designed to enhance mobility, access, and convenience for travelers at Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas. The facility will open for public parking on Monday, April 28, 2025.<\/p>\n

The completion of the Transportation Center marks a significant milestone in the Authority\u2019s ongoing commitment to sustainable and integrated transportation solutions. The first level is designated for rental cars, taxis, and tour operators. The second and third levels are available for paid public parking with 311 parking spaces and 9 accessible parking spaces (a total of 320 spaces), two elevators, and covered and uncovered parking options. It is open at 6 a.m. daily, and the parking rates are posted at the facility and are also available on the Airport section of VIPA\u2019s official website at https:\/\/www.viport.com\/airport-parking-groundtransport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

VIPA Executive Director Carlton Dowe said, \u201cThe completion of this facility is a much-needed improvement to CEKA\u2019s infrastructure and symbolizes progress for all of us as a community. We are excited to fully open the Dale A. Gregory Transportation Center to the public and continue our plans to improve our airports and travelers\u2019 experience.\u201d Dowe thanked the public and the airport\u2019s employees for their patience and cooperation during the construction process that began in 2021. He also thanked VIPA\u2019s employees for their excellent work and the Bryan\/Roach Administration for their ongoing support of the Authority.<\/p>\n

The project was designed by Kimley-Horn and built by AT Construction Solutions. The total cost to build the facility amounted to $33.2 million, with funding partially provided by a $20 million hurricane recovery grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration. VIPA funded the remaining balance via its operating budget and car rental fees collected at King Airport.<\/p>\n

In April 2024, half of the facility was opened for public parking following a dedication ceremony honoring Dale A. Gregory, the former VIPA director of engineering who retired after 37 years at the Port Authority.<\/p>\n
