A model
for impactful partnership.
We fuel our initiatives through business application fees, reinvesting every contribution into programs that empower our local community and help businesses grow.
As a self-sustaining government organization, RTPark relies on application fees from businesses that join our economic incentives program. These contributions, along with collaborative investments in community development, are channeled directly into community advancement initiatives such as workforce development, education, and entrepreneurship programs.
Through this model, businesses not only receive support but also play a vital role in building an innovation-driven and resilient community in the USVI.

St. Thomas
Known for its breathtaking hillside views of the Caribbean Sea and neighboring islands, as well as the famous Charlotte Amalie harbor, St. Thomas is one of the Caribbean's premier tourist destinations and hosts the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Whether you're taking a stroll through the historic Main Street shopping district, doing business downtown, or sailing to the British Virgin Islands on the weekend, St. Thomas is a unique blend of the Territory's past and present.
St. Croix
As the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Croix is the easternmost point of the United States and boasts a wide range of views from its rolling hills to expansive plains, as well as lush rainforest. Not only is the community proudly steeped in a unique history and rich traditions, proven by its unique Danish architecture, but it is also known for its up-and-coming culinary scene and eco-centric vibe.
St. John
Did you know that St. John beaches are consistently recognized as some of the most beautiful in the world? With 60% percent of its land designated as a national park, the smallest of our "big three" is paradise for those who want a quiet lifestyle surrounded by a pristine tropical oasis.
