Yesterday Margie Brooks, Executive Director of the Hyde County Chamber of Commerce sent an email with the following information from the NC Division of tourism newsletter about Ocracoke's Fish House:
OCRACOKE'S LAST REMAINING FISH HOUSE NO LONGER FLOUNDERING
After being resurrected from near-demise, Ocracoke's last remaining fish house now seems to be on its way to a more secure future. The N.C. Rural Economic Development Center has agreed to provide a grant for $325,000 to pay back a bridge loan to Hyde County, which in turn relieves Ocracoke Seafood Co. of its debt. The county will then formulate a legal agreement with the Ocracoke Working Watermen's Association, operators of the fish house.
Everyone is delighted with this news. To find out more, click here.
