Oak Island Town Council took advantage of an opportunity to buy more sand as part of its ongoing beach renourishment project.
Council voted 4-1 at the board’s Dec. 9 monthly meeting to approve a pair of contracts totaling $3,070,300 that will bring more than 110,000 additional cubic yards of sand to two pre-selected sections of beachfront. Oak Island previously received $3 million from a Coastal Storm Damage Mitigation grant and will use the funds to have Weeks Marine, the company overseeing the town’s renourishment efforts, place more sand near Middleton Park and Middleton Drive.
