$2.2M for Duck (NC) beachfill efforts April 29, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced that the Town of Duck will receive $2,229,342 to assist their Hurricane Dorian recovery efforts.
Dorian’s storm surge and wave activity led to dangerous levels of beach and dune erosion along the coastline near Duck, reported FEMA.
The town will use these funds to replace 170,800 cubic yards of sand along 1.6 miles of shoreline and dunes. About 61,000 plants will also need to be reinstalled to anchor the dunes against further erosion.
The project is expected to cost a total of $2,972,456 and will be a continuation of the Shoreline Protection Project that Duck initiated in 2017.

“NCDOT will use lessons learned from the pilot to guide policy development and roadway designs to ensure North Carolina roadways are a friendly environment for AVs,” said R. Harris Kay, a communications officer with NCDOT.
