RE:  
Sixty (60) Day Notice - Termination of Use of Parcel Nos. 2C & 3 Crystal Gade, Queen’s 
Quarter, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. 
 
Dear Rev. DeWard:  
 
The Government of the Virgin Islands (“GVI”), acting by and through its Department of Property and 
Procurement (“DPP”), hereby informs the St. Thomas Reformed Church (“Church”), that, effective sixty 
(60) days from the receipt of this notice, the ground floor of the building on Parcel Nos. 2C & 3 Crystal 
Gade, Queen’s Quarter, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as the area previously identified for use 
as a playground during the Church’s summer programs on Parcel No. 3, are no longer available for the 
Church’s use. 
 
This notice is being provided pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Stipulated Agreement in Civil No. 731/79 
(“Stipulated Agreement”), which states, in pertinent part: 
 
“Said right and permission, however, shall be at the pleasure of the Government, terminable at any time 
with not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice.” 
 
Although the Government has identified an alternate use for the property, the vacant land area in Parcel 
No. 3, located behind the Church, shall remain vacant and unimproved, and the Church shall retain access 
through Parcel No. 3 to the church structure. Additionally, the Church may perform repairs or 
maintenance to the Church from said vacant land area as necessary, as provided in the Stipulated 
Agreement. The Government requests that the Church provide written communication via email to 
property@dpp.vi.gov of any planned repairs and maintenance at least fifteen (15) business days prior to 
the commencement of said repairs and maintenance, so that the Government may provide notice to and 
coordinate with other users of this shared property, as necessary. In the case of an emergency, however, 
reasonable notice under the circumstances shall be sufficient.  
 
Should you have any questions, please contact the Assistant Commissioner of Property and Procurement, 
Vincent Richards, via email at vincent.richards@dpp.vi.gov or (340) 774-0828 ext. 4329.  
 
Respectfully, 
 
 
Lisa M. Alejandro 
Commissioner
