EXPLORE OUR STORY

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.
