Photo Focus: Vendors Plaza Blossoms with Bright New Colors

November 8, 2022

Construction workers and engineers are making progress with the new Vendors Plaza retail units on St. Thomas. The brightly colored, steel-framed kiosks are being carefully moved into place as anticipation mounts for the brand-new plaza.

Licensing and Consumer Affairs Commissioner Richard Evangelista has said previously that the structures, which replace the tents that were a longtime staple of the plaza, are built to withstand a Category 3 hurricane.
