Governor Bryan Meets with Acting FEMA Regional Administrator<\/h1>\n

to Discuss STEP Program and Hurricane Recovery Progress<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

ST. CROIX, U.S. Virgin Islands<\/strong> – Governor Albert Bryan Jr. and ODR Director Adrienne L. Williams-Octalien met with Acting FEMA Region 2 Administrator David Maurstad and their leadership teams at Government House on Wednesday. They discussed the Territory\u2019s hurricane recovery progress, STEP (Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power) program and other issues.<\/p>\n

The Acting Administrator reaffirmed FEMA\u2019s commitment to resolving the outstanding issues surrounding the STEP program and assured Governor Bryan that the transition of the White House administrations will not affect the progress of the recovery, Director Motta said.<\/p>\n

The Governor and Acting Administrator Maurstad also discussed the situation with FEMA\u2019s eligibility determinations for some of the Territory\u2019s requests for repairs to storm-damaged roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter initially determining some of those roads ineligible, FEMA has recently agreed to revisit six sites at the Territory\u2019s request and has reversed its decision,\u201d Director Motta said.<\/p>\n

Also under discussion was the Conditional Letter of Map Revision application (CLOMAR) for the Paul E. Joseph Stadium on St. Croix.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Acting Administrator Maurstad could not commit to a date for approval of the application, he assured the Governor that he is familiar with the issue and is expediting the review,\u201d Director Motta said. \u201cWhile on-island, he took the opportunity to tour the project site. Construction on the project currently is stalled lending FEMA\u2019s review of the application.\u201d<\/p>\n
