As the NCTA is beginning to explore its financing options while the draft Environmental Impact Statement is available for public review, the Southern Environmental Law Center has issued a letter to attempt to shut down one avenue of public funding available through the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA). Those of you in favor of the bridge should not be too alarmed as every project the NCTA has done has gotten at least a letter from the SELC. This letter seems to suggest that they would prefer the funding to go to the Oregon Inlet bridge connecting Hatteras Island-which has potential merit-but the SELC somehow neglects to disclose their robust opposition to compromising on that bridge as well. Regardless how you view the stance taken in the letter, I think we can all agree that the SELC could use a map and a tad more diligent research to figure out where Bodie Island is located.

I finally created this blog after years of receiving emails and telephone calls from property owners and potential property owners who just wanted to know what was going on in the Carova Beach area. I found myself answering the same questions over and over. Online information about the area can be very difficult to obtain, even more difficult is to verify whether or not it is accurate. People, who either wanted to invest in the area or just have a place to enjoy at the beach, found out (often the hard way) that the Carova Beach area was not like other areas. I spend a considerable amount of time researching issues that directly or indirectly effect this 4WD off-road area of the Outer Banks so that I can provide detailed, objective responses to those who share a similar passion and vested interest for the area. As most of you know, this is not your typical suburbia and there are a number of potential issues to negotiate to achieve success in the off-road area. It starts with education. Thanks for reading.
