We are now waiting for a final set of plans to be drawn. With plans in hand, we can then establish the approximate construction cost of the new building. This will allow us to determine how to proceed in securing the necessary money to move forward with this much needed project for the Ocracoke community.
In the meantime, Mike Johnson and Ernie Doshier spent hours leveling the sand on the building site. The sand will be seeded in hopes of preventing further erosion due to the constant blowing of the wind.
