Sponsor: Del. Plaskett, Stacey E. [D-VI-At Large] (Introduced 02/03/2020). The bill establishes the St. Croix National Heritage Area in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, and calls for a management plan for the protection, enhancement, and interpretation of its resources.

Concrete legislative action to preserve cultural and natural resources on St. Croix, though the bill was only introduced in the 116th Congress.

Sponsor: Del. Plaskett, Stacey E. [D-VI-At Large] (Introduced 02/26/2021). The bill establishes the St. Croix National Heritage Area in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Latest Action: 06/15/2021 Subcommittee Hearings Held.

She reintroduced the same preservation-focused measure and advanced it far enough to receive subcommittee hearings.

Public Law No: 117-339. The statute includes: “St. Croix national heritage area, U.S. Virgin Islands” and states that there is established on the island of St. Croix the St. Croix National Heritage Area, consisting of the entire island of St. Croix, with the Virgin Islands State Historic Preservation Office as the local coordinating entity.

Federal law ultimately created the St. Croix National Heritage Area, directly advancing the heritage-preservation part of the promise.

Plaskett made concrete federal legislative efforts to preserve Virgin Islands cultural and natural resources by sponsoring St. Croix National Heritage Area bills in the 116th and 117th Congresses. The ultimate federal outcome, Public Law 117-339, established the St. Croix National Heritage Area and directly advanced the promise's heritage-preservation and resource-protection goals. Because final enactment occurred on January 5, 2023, after the 2021-2023 House term had ended but with clear candidate contribution through her sponsored companion legislation, this counts as delivered with later_term timing.

partial later_term

Plaskett made concrete legislative efforts to preserve Virgin Islands cultural and natural resources through St. Croix National Heritage Area bills, and federal law ultimately established the St. Croix National Heritage Area in 2023. That directly advances the cultural-heritage portion of the promise and some resource-protection goals. However, the promise is broad across the Virgin Islands' natural resources and cultural heritage, and the evidence mainly shows one major St. Croix-focused preservation outcome plus general issue-page commitments, not full delivery of the entire broad promise.
