BRUNSWICK COUNTY — Last week, the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners and Southport Board of Aldermen each unanimously passed resolutions supporting a state-created entity, mandated by the legislature to purchase Bald Head Island’s private ferry system.
The county and city’s sign of solidarity with Bald Head Island Transportation Authority (BHITA) is a direct response to the Village of Bald Head Island’s public (yet unofficial) offer to purchase the system for itself.
