Evaluation of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ Capacity to Manage and Use Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Funds for Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Improvements

Why We Did This Report

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducted this evaluation to determine the U.S. Virgin Islands’ capacity to manage and use Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds for clean water and drinking water infrastructure improvements.
 

Summary of Findings

The U.S. Virgin Islands, or USVI, has the financial capacity to manage and use its Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or IIJA, funds. However, the USVI faces human capital-, organizational-, and stakeholder-related challenges that limit its capacity to manage and use its IIJA funds for clean water and drinking water construction grants.
