Gov. Roy L. Schneider has accepted a gift of land, Virgin Cay Marina near Bovoni, to be used as a conservational/recreational park.
The land was given by the estate of Cynthia Sophie Major to the V.I. government with a stipulation that it be named the Cynthia and Ian Major State Park.
Housing, Parks and Recreation will manage the property, the Government House press release said. It did not indicate how big the cay is or any specific plans for how it will be used.
