Although NC Highway 12 has been repaired and open to all traffic for months, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the NC Department of Transportation are preparing a study of problems associated with storm-induced shoreline damage on Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands. They are hoping to develop a long-term solution to protect the shoreline and the highway on both islands.

This afternoon, between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. the Corps of Engineers and the NCDOT are hosting an open house and community informational workshop at the Ocracoke School Gymnasium. They are asking for community input, suggestions, and concerns.

Today is looking like yet another wonderfully sunny and warm spring day.
