Governor Josh Tenorio. “The Guahan 2050 Sustainability plan will carve a path forward so that our children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy the natural beauty of our island and benefit from a thriving economy.” Funding for this project comes from a U.S. Department of Interior, Office of Insular Affairs grant (Grant Number: D21AP10204-00).

317th COVID-19-related Fatality Reported; Cumulative COVID-19 Test Results: 274 New Cases, 44 Hospitalized; No Symptoms Needed to Test for COVID-19

Hagåtña, Guam - Governor Lou Leon Guerrero and Lieutenant Governor Josh Tenorio issue the following statements on the passing of Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority (GHURA) Executive Director Ray S. Topasna: “Our hearts are broken over the sudden loss of our good friend and respected public servant Ray Topasna. He dedicated his life to ensure Guam’s families had a roof over their heads and that stable housing on our island was a staple, instead of a systemic challenge. Our families are more secure and stronger today because of his legacy. We will never forget his tireless efforts, his quick wit, and his inspiring ability to speak truth to power,” said Governor Leon Guerrero. “Jeff and I send our deepest condolences to Audrey and family, and we are especially thinking of them in their moment of grief and pain. I will miss Ray tremendously.” “Ray dedicated his life to public service in the tradition of his parents and grandparents. He was an innovative thinker and pursued excellence in his work for our island. Today marks a great loss for Guam,” said Lt. Governor Tenorio. “To his wife Audrey, their children, and the Topasna and Sanchez families, we extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers.” ###
