ADVISORS TO DISCUSS WATERFRONT ACCESS PROPOSALS

MOREHEAD CITY – A citizen’s advisory committee on Waterfront Access and Marine Industry Fund proposals will meet at 10 a.m. Monday in Room 1 of the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City.

The committee is scheduled to discuss final presentations of funding proposals. Advisors will be asked for their input on prioritizing projects for approval.

The N.C. General Assembly created the $20 million WAMI Fund, in its 2007 session, to improve and/or develop public and commercial waterfront access. The legislature gave the director of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries oversight of the fund.

The meeting is open to the public. However, no public comment period is scheduled.
