This document is an economic area analysis for the US Virgin Islands, likely created after 2015. It details local real estate transfer taxes, the economic impact of the 2012 Hovensa refinery closure, legislative changes affecting the charter yacht industry, and several major commercial and resort development projects intended to boost the economy. Although not directly mentioning Jeffrey Epstein, its inclusion in the HOUSE_OVERSIGHT document collection suggests it was gathered as background material for an investigation related to his activities in the USVI.
