Governor Albert Bryan last evening told the Consortium that his administration was successful in securing an upfront payment of $84.7 million from the U.S. Treasury to provide to Virgin Islanders. Normally, the CARES Act stimulus program calls on local governments to make payments to their residents up front and get reimbursed by Treasury thereafter. The VI government, according to the governor, has been spared the burden. This means the $120 million in revenue anticipation notes the government was seeking will be used in other much-need areas. The governor said the bank had already approved $60 million, and the administration was reviewing the term sheet.
