Bay Land Use Controls Cost Virginia Upfront
A SDN Market Research report estimates proposed Chesapeake Bay land use controls will cost state and local governments 8 to 9 million dollars in the first two years. Localities’ share is offset by higher property values, with duplication of state programs cutting the need to 5.5 to 6.5 million. A contingency oil spill plan will be drafted Thursday in a Virginia meeting among state officials and federal agencies. Secretary John W. Daniel II notes the spill event underscores timing. Rear Adm. Jim Pappas, head of the Norfolk Naval Base since 1987, is nominated for promotion to vice admiral and reassignment as director of logistics for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington.
