The Town held a Special Meeting on Monday, August 1st to consider a resolution authorizing the filing of condemnation actions to acquire any missing easements for the Central Reach Shore Protection Project.  The easements are needed for the project to move ahead.

The Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 16-09 authorizing the Town to acquire the easements by condemnation.  You can read the resolution here.

Beginning August 2nd, letters will be sent to all property owners in the project area (240 OBE – 781 OBW) who have not returned their signed easements advising them that the Town will start condemnation proceedings on August 12, 2016.  Property owners will have 30 days to comply.

If you own property in the Central Reach project area and have still not received your revised easement, or if you need more time to execute it, please contact Noel Fox immediately at 910-815-0085 or [email protected].

If you have concerns about signing the easement and would like information about the HBPOA attorney’s assessment, please see the postings on our website or send us an email at [email protected].  We would also like to hear from you if for some reason you do not plan to execute the easement.
