The V.I. Government will rent hundreds of acres of St. Croix farmland to Tibbar Energy to grow King Grass for use in electricity production if a lease tentatively approved in committee Tuesday is passed by the full V.I. Legislature.

The Finance Committee also approved leases for a hotel on 45 acres of land on Water Island for an electrical supply center and for an auto repair center in Sub Base on St. Thomas.
