Ocean Isle Beach wants new $5.7 million town hall

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Ocean Isle Beach wants to build a new town hall off of the island.

The town plans to borrow $5.7 million from First Bank to finance the project.

The new town hall would be located in the vacant space on Causeway Drive just off the island.

It will offer more parking and room for employees.

The town says they need a permanent structure off the island in case of a hurricane.

The next step is for local government officials to approve construction.

Board of commissioners say it should be approved by March.
