What are they going to use the money for? They dont have any permits for nourishment. Mr. Perry told me, he was the one that got sand fencing for Kitty Hawk Is this what they are going to use the money for again?? What a Waste!! Sand fencing in Kitty Hawk is only OCEAN TRASH, and polluting the ocean, just like when they pump the septic tank water back in the ocean,when they get ocean wash-over there. If the beach were wider you wouldnt have this problem!! Shame on the town of Kitty Hawk!!

At the meeting some members of the commission said that the money already collected should be available on a "first come, first serve basis." If the decision about how to spend the money will be based the timing of a town's presentation rather than a realistic look at the costs, the financial risks, the need, and the likelyhood that a particular plan will actually work, then I have serious doubts about this process. A comprehensive, countywide approach--including dune building, managed retreat in very high risk areas, and a close look at the benefits of offshore reefs--makes more sense to me than first come first serve.

Maybe now some true alternatives to BN will be discussed. The county does have a nice chunk of money to utilize for shoreline management. Hopefully something other than beach nourishment for 2.7 miles will be discussed. Kudos to the mayors for standing up! Horray for Perry, Morrison and Daniels!

We may just arrive at a wise decision yet. It is refreshing to hear about a local leader who is thinking through the challenges logically. We may just arrive at a wise decision yet.
