5 issues in development with medium priority
YMCA Childcare Expansion Resolution
The board joined the county commissioners in backing the Currituck Family YMCA's plan to expand before/after school care, summer camp, and youth programs. The point is to ease the childcare shortage that strains working families and makes it hard to recruit and keep teachers.
Currituck Way residential subdivision in Point Harbor
The Currituck Way rezoning adds 20 single-family homes in the $475,000-$500,000 range to an area with a housing shortage — but three commissioners worried about doubling homes on farmland and possible leapfrog MXR requests along US 158.
Land donation in Moyock
The county accepted, at no cost, land on Tulls Creek Road and Campus Drive in Moyock for public use, including a stormwater pond and open space.
Currituck Way conditional rezoning
Twenty single-family lots on Foster Forbes Road in Poplar Branch, scaled down from a rejected 60-townhome plan. County water gets extended along Foster Forbes Road to serve it.
Allied Properties settlement (Millstone Crossing)
The board unanimously accepted a settlement in the Allied Properties, LLC v. Currituck County lawsuit, on conditions recommended by the county attorney. Before the vote, two commissioners defended their earlier denial of the Millstone Crossing special use permit.
