Growing Pains in Swansboro NC

Swansboro, NC is experiencing growing pains and dealing with the symptoms. There has been a moratorium on building, renovation and demolition in the historic, waterfront area of town since August of last year. It will expire on August 15 of this year. The planning and zoning department in conjunction with the historic preservation society have worked together and come up with a height restriction plan .

Those in favor of the height restriction plan say they want to keep the unique, quaint waterfront village appearance the town has and preserve the water views. The residents and business owners who oppose the proposed plan feel it is not fair to impose higher taxes on residents when new businesses which would increase the tax base are being shut out by the proposed new rule.

This issue has caused heated discussions--no final decisions have been made.
