North Topsail Beach s service districts plan draws ire

“Municipal service districts sound great because they’re affecting other people, but in fact they open up a can of worms on all of us,” said property owner Stuart Gillman. “They’ve been used for very, very pernicious purposes. I think that municipal service districts will have us all hang separately. We all need to pay our fair share of taxes.” Local city and county governments may establish MSDs to charge property owners assessments on top of property taxes as a way to provide more services to those who reside within those districts. In the case of North Topsail Beach, assessments allowed by creating the proposed districts would help cover the annual estimated cost of $3 million for the next 50 years in a joint project with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Surf City, North Topsail’s island neighbor to the south.

North Topsail OK d for Dune Restoration | Coastal Review Online

Trucks haul sand for previous dune restoration work in North Topsail Beach. Photo: Contributed North Topsail Beach officials say the town now has federal approval to begin Hurricane Florence dune restoration work that was supposed to have begun Nov. 1, 2020. The project was delayed by a Federal Emergency Management Agency requirement for an environmental and historical review. Planned work includes hauling sand by truck in areas delineated as phases 2,3 and 4. Approval came Friday during a multi-agency conference call, the town announced Tuesday. Work to restore the dunes to their conditions before Florence hit the North Carolina coast in September 2018 is to begin where a project that followed Hurricane Matthew in 2016 left off, near  4400 Island Drive, and continue north until the environmental window closes in spring for sea turtle nesting season. Any work not completed is to resume in November.
