The V.I. Department of Agriculture (VIDA) will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand reopening of the St. Croix Abattoir, which has been completely renovated to better serve the community. In addition to the VI Code, the Abattoir Division is also subject to federal laws. All animals brought to, and meat produced at the abattoir is inspected by an official from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and stamped as safe for public consumption.
