Four groins for the coast

Star-News is reporting that a deal has been struck to allow construction of four terminal groins on the coast.
Negotiations started with a wide gap between the House and Senate.

A conference committee had met at least two times in recent weeks to try to iron out the differences between the House and Senate versions of the legislation. The Senate voted earlier this session to allow two terminal groins at each inlet in the state. The House later backed a bill that would allow only three projects statewide.

“I understand the concerns,” said Sen. Harry Brown, R-Onslow, who had pushed for the greater number. “I guess this was a good compromise in the end.”
