The Ocracoke Civic & Business Association (OCBA) is seeking islanders’ comments as to the future of Ocracoke.
The island has a lot of issues that have been on the minds of many for a long time.
Two years ago, through its Ferry Lobby committee, the OCBA worked with local and state officials on solutions to ferry funding and operations, and now it’s time to get working on “What is the future of Ocracoke,” said Bob Chestnut, board chair. “What can we do now while we’re figuring out the next 10 to 20 years?”
OCBA wants to be proactive rather than reactive, Chestnut said. A lot of good, positive things are going on, but we need to have input with all of these agencies involved with solving Ocracoke problems. “This is our island,” he said.
The monthly meeting Tuesday, March 18, will be devoted to concerns and ideas from islanders and non-resident property owners and will be held at 6 p.m. in the Ocracoke Community Center.
All are welcome to attend.
