Accomplishments

The Lemanu and La’apui Administration have passionately focused on developing infrastructure, not just for the sake of it, but to create brighter economic opportunities for our territory. By raising the standard of living and improving the quality of life for our residents, we are transforming American Samoa into a beacon of opportunity for local entrepreneurs and foreign investors. These infrastructure developments are not just bricks and mortar but create much-needed jobs for our people, boost local businesses, and help to attract foreign investments. Our dedication is evident in the new roads, shoreline protections, and school buildings we have built, our swift responses to emergencies, modern telecommunications, and diligent preparations for the future.

Our Administration is deeply committed to addressing the urgent challenges of climate change and ensuring the protection and prosperity of our islands. With unwavering determination, we are upgrading existing government structures and embarking on new infrastructure projects that embody innovative ideas. Together, we are redefining the efficiency and mobility of our island's way of life, paving the way for a future filled with promise and possibility.
