Commissioners vote in support of proposed aquarium

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A new shellfish aquarium is one step closer to becoming a reality.

Pender County Commissioners voted Monday night to adopt a resolution in support of a North Carolina satellite facility at Blake Farm.

The site plans for the development had previously been submitted to the Pender County Technical Review Committee.

However, the development is already seeing scrutiny, with an ethics complaint coming from a New Hanover County attorney.

The aquarium is projected to open 2  years from now.
