Naming bills are usually not controversial and often pass if there is local support. However, they are low priority and many never get a final vote.

Key Points

  • This bill would rename the bandstand at the Christiansted National Historic Site in St. Croix. It would officially be called the Peter G. Thurland, Sr., Bandstand.
  • The change honors a local man who was a Navy veteran and a talented musician. He helped build the bandstand and led a community band that played free concerts there for decades.
  • This is a ceremonial action to recognize Thurland's contributions to the Virgin Islands. It does not change how the site is run or cost taxpayers a significant amount of money.
