The Recovery and Development Agency (RDA) has now announced the secondment of Hodge to the position of Manager – Project Planning and Management, effective Wednesday, 1st October, 2025.
As we understand it, Hodge and the Minister for Communications and Works, Honourable Kye Rymer have been at odds for some time, and tension continued to mount.
During his tenure at PWD, Mr. Hodge led multiple small road repair and development projects, which included rebuilding sidewalks, addressing undermined roads and collapsed drains, along with resurfacing and surfacing unpaved roads. He also led the redirecting of the Road Town traffic flow and rebuilt the Parham Town Bridge.
Jeremy Hodge holds a Graduate Diploma in Management from Manchester University and an Executive Diploma in Management from McKechnie Institute in the United Kingdom. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Human Resources Management from InterAmerican University in Puerto Rico and an Associate of Science in Business Administration from the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College.
In his new role at the RDA, Mr. Hodge will assist in leading the planning, coordination and delivery of major development projects, including engaging in the procurement processes, ensuring alignment with national priorities and stakeholder expectations.
His efforts are expected to play a key role in advancing the Agency’s strategic objectives and delivering impactful results for the Territory, while ensuring exposure to the Agency’s approach and practices.
“We are pleased to welcome Mr. Hodge to the RDA team,” said RDA Chief Executive Officer Mr. Anthony McMaster, “His extensive experience and proven leadership in the public sector will be invaluable as we continue to build a stronger, smarter, greener, and better Virgin Islands.”
Hodge served at the head of PWD for some three (3) years, being appointed in 2022.
