Could you have to start paying for parking in Oak Island?

OAK ISLAND, NC (WWAY) — If you plan on going to the beach in Oak Island this summer, you could see some changes that will cost you some change.

Oak Island Town Council voted this week to negotiate paid parking. Public parking has been free, but that could change.

Town Council voted three to two to start negotiations with NC Parking. The Town Mayor says they have not signed any contracts yet.

She says there will be a public meeting on March 5 for residents and council members to ask questions, before any negotiations move forward.
