@Dare County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
In the past two weeks, I’ve:
· Attended a school board meeting (Dare County students are winning on and off the field!)
· Heard about the great initiatives the Outer Banks Community Foundation is supporting through their philanthropy
· Participated in the State of the Child Conference and learned about the pressing needs for infant/child care and teen mental health services
· Attended the Dare Dems County Convention one day, and then marched in the largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in NC (in Nags Head) the next day
· Heard a presentation by NC’s Insurance Commissioner and asked him a few questions about why he settles rate hike requests rather than take them to court
· Met a lovely group of voters in Frisco and listened to their concerns while also educating them about some of the issues Dare County faces
· Attended the annual economic summit and heard about trends for the Outer Banks in new business acquisition, retail, and hospitality.
I continue to hear about the needs that Hatteras Island has relative to the rest of Dare County, and I’m more determined than ever to be a voice and a presence for representation and inclusion in this beautiful county. Thanks for reading!
