Wrightsville Beach visited by Congressman David Rouzer

Wrightsville Beach, N.C. (WWAY) — Representative David Rouzer paid a visit to Wrightsville Beach to speak about the ongoing renourishment project with the army corps engineers.

Since January 2023, Rouzer has pushed for a bill in Washington that would allow the Wrightsville Beach renourishment system to remain in place.

H-R has not yet passed in the house, but in May of 2023, the corps of engineers stepped in and made an emergency decision to proceed with the renourishment under the previous system.

Although a permanent solution is still needed, for now, Rouzer says “that’s why we’re here today, to recognize this success.”
