Sirenusa Developer Responds to Allegations

The St. John Tradewinds has a story on the Sirenusa development:

In the wake of the V.I. Legislature’s passage of Sirenusa’s controversial zoning variance, a number of Love City residents have been making strong allegations regarding the luxury condominium project overlooking Cruz Bay.

The Senate voted 13 to 1 to approve a zoning variance for the 40-unit development from R-2, residential low-density, to R-3, residential medium-density, in order to construct seven additional units in three existing buildings on the lowest portion of the five-acre site.

The campaign against the development is being led by people who are determined to shut the site down, according to Sirenusa developer Enighed Condominiums LLC owner Carlo Marzano.

“You have so many things being said right now and a lot of the people have problems with the way development is taking place,” said Marzano. “There are people in this community who are emotionally and ideologically invested in seeing this project being shut down. And, failing to this end, they will say and do whatever is necessary to turn people against it.”
