YourVoice.Now Summary

The Christiansted bandstand on St. Croix would be named for musician Peter G. Thurland, Sr. — nothing else changes.

The details

Most people would see no change in daily life. This is a naming bill and nothing more. The bandstand at the Christiansted National Historic Site on St. Croix would get a new name. It would be named the Peter G. Thurland, Sr., Bandstand. Thurland was a Virgin Islands musician who started the St. Croix Community Band in 1938. The park would not change in any other way. The bill spends no money, hands over no land, and adds no upkeep duties. It only makes sure that federal maps, laws, and records point to the new name.
