Part 2 - Neville James continues the conversation with Lisa Anders, Senior Vice President of MCN Build, about the newly opened Arthur A. Richards Pre-K through 8 School on St. Croix and the factors that influence its construction timeline and cost. Anders explains the design-build process, FEMA funding requirements, supply chain challenges, hurricane-resilient engineering features, and the school's long-term value as both a modern educational facility and community shelter.  The conversation also explores broader issues affecting construction in the Virgin Islands, including transportation logistics, labor, warehousing, taxation, and post-pandemic cost increases.
