Town plans to start Oak Island Pier demo in February

OAK ISLAND, NC (WWAY) — Plans are underway for the Oak Island Pier that was heavily damaged more than a year ago by Hurricane Matthew.

Permits are now in hand and the Town of Oak Island has had pre-construction meetings to move forward.

The contractor is planning to start the demo and replacement the first week of next month.

Town council says they are looking at options for the restaurant and store areas and will release those details next month as well.

The pier project will be completed in two phases.
