Navy airfield plan faces Beaufort County questions
The 1993 Base Closure plan targets three 2000 acre sites to build a 30 to 40 million airfield with an 8000 foot runway for carrier landing practice. The project would affect 35000 to 45000 acres as a buffer with hearings in Craven Jones Carteret and Beaufort counties amid concerns over jet noise and economic impact. Public meetings address routes civilian flights, environmental studies, and future hearings in Beaufort and Pamlico counties.

Craven Blizzard Pushes Sewer Tap Moratorium Lift Plan
Craven Blizzard argues the increase in sewer capacity is needed to end the Township 7 moratorium, with about 400 people waiting for hookups. Opponents say non-discharge options should be exhausted first as the river cannot withstand more pollution and nitrogen limits should be imposed sooner. The plan includes a $100,000 treatment upgrade and spray-irrigation improvements, while critics warn even this may not provide adequate capacity and could worsen nitrogen loading into the Neuse River.
