The Virgin Islands Office of Disaster Recovery released its 2025 Annual Report, “Rebuild USVI,” outlining the status of disaster recovery projects and federal funding from September 2024 to September 2025, according to a press release.
The report details the territory’s ongoing recovery from hurricanes Irma and Maria and the role of the Virgin Islands Office of Disaster Recovery in coordinating and managing federal disaster recovery funding. It provides updates on project status, funding obligations, challenges, and next steps, the press release stated.
“Over 1,000 projects have been completed, and more than $24 billion has been obligated to the territory,” ODR Director Adrienne L. Williams-Octalien said in the release. “The launch of the Rebuild USVI initiative has remained one of ODR’s most important initiatives. This $14 billion venture is laying the groundwork for construction to begin on over 30 critical projects between 2026 and 2027.”
According to the report, recovery projects have also had a measurable impact on the local economy. During Fiscal Year 2025, recovery-related expenditures generated more than $23.4 million in gross receipts tax revenue.
“By the end of 2025, federal funding investments will total over $24 billion, five times the size of our economy,” Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. said in the release. “In 2024 alone, $400 million flowed through the territory, creating jobs and strengthening local businesses.”
