There are actually two marina projects in the works. The land deal for the church property went through a few months ago and then the announcement that Guy Benjamin school was being closed (it sits on adjacent property), probably the perfect site to locate a new Customs office - pure speculation. It should also be noted that the Summer's End group got a million dollar government grant to "improve the boating market on St. John". I'd say its a done deal.

The customs office will be key. Being able to clear in without messing around with Cruz Bay or CA would be huge for any yachts coming in from the BVI's and points east. If you haven't spent a quiet night at Salt Pond, now's the time to do it.
