Currituck County commissioners unanimously voted against a plan for commercial development in Corolla’s northern beaches.
A Norfolk developer applied for an “off road historic village commercial overlay,” which included plans for a 25.77 acres site for the development of a 50 room inn, a convenience store and Currituck county services such as fire departments, a church, a professional center, and apartments.
Residents of Swan Beach (northern most region of OBX beaches) have consistently been resistant to the idea of development, and the population of wild horses that roam free in this area are a prime concern to the locals that oppose the development.
This pristine local is safe for the time being.
