Abstract:
Coastal development requires a balanced approach to both stimulate economic development while also preserving natural resources. In 1972, plans for development in Currituck County were halted to allow a team of architects, engineers, ecologists, economists, and local officials create a thorough, multi-disciplinary plan for the county's coastal land use. Specifics of their plan and potential use as a model for the entire state's coastal region are discussed.
