The University of the Virgin Islands unveiled a state-of-the-art research center for geographic and spatial data Wednesday [1/29].
A $500,000 renovation of the annex that housed the business offices was funded by the Virgin Islands Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research and the National Science Foundation. ...
As well as providing new learning opportunities for students, the center will supply local and federal government agencies with data they need to update and create emergency response systems, disaster mitigation plans and watershed management plans. The data will aid local government planners in the creation of the street naming system and the maintenance of the sex offender registry, according to UVI professor Costas Alexandridis.
