WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The town of Ocean Isle Beach has received the necessary permits to move forward with the terminal groin project.

In a press release, this week, Town Administrator Daisy Ivey announced that the town will begin final preparations to put the project out for a bid and select a contractor. The terminal groin project includes the construction of a 705 foot structure and a 300 foot anchorage system. Over 3,000 feet of shoreline west of the groin will be pre-filled with beach compatible material through dregding from the Shallotte Inlet.

Construction is expected to begin in November of this year.
