TPP renamed after Romney three years ago

Three years ago, on February 15, 2019, the Pier Park was renamed in Honour of the late Romney in a ceremony dubbed ‘a red letter day’ by then Minister for Communications and Works, Hon Mark H. Vanterpool (R4).

In addition to serving as Chief Minister, Mr Romney was the first local appointee to the position of Financial Secretary of the Virgin Islands, where he served for four and a half years before his retirement. He further served this country in his political career from 1979 to 1995.

The statue unveiling ceremony will be carried on the Facebook page of the Government of the VI and attendees are expected to follow all COVID-19 safety protocols such as wearing of masks.
