Scrape, Paint, Rejuvenate Program

Hailed as the most beautiful towns in the Caribbean, the rapid deterioration of Christiansted and Frederiksted has resulted in a loss of cultural resources and economic growth. In an attempt to address the problem in 2001, the St. Croix Foundation launched the Scrape, Paint Rejuvenate Program, which seeks to identify selected commercial and residential properties in need of paint and minor repairs. The program also aims to eliminate trash-infested areas through abandoned lot cleaning.

Initially funded by a grant from the St. Croix Anti-Litter and Beautification Commission of St. Croix (ALBCX), the Scrape, Paint, Rejuvenate Program offers grants to property owners in Christiansted to partially cover painting and minor repair costs. To date, some 80 buildings within Christiansted town limits have been repainted and numerous lots cleaned, slowly improving the tenor of the town.

The grant cycle is on-going; please contact the St. Croix Foundation via email or call us at 773-9898 to apply.
