Nags Head one step closer to beach nourishment

In its Oct. 5th meeting the Nags Head Board of Commissioners approved a proposal by an engineering firm to prepare the final design and permits for nourishing 10 of the 12 miles of its towns beaches. The nearly $27 million project will require a general obligation bond to finance it, which will have to be approved by voters in the town. The earliest construction could begin will be spring 2007.
