Abstract:
Carteret County is the subject of this month's North Carolina magazine community profile. The county provides visitors with miles of beaches; historical sites, including Beaufort, the state's third-oldest town, and Fort Macon, a Civil War site; environmental attractions, including the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores; and water adventures, including diving, kayaking, and sailing. The county boasts a number of art galleries, fine restaurants, and shops. Tourism is a big driver of the economy as well as residential and commercial development that is fueled by high-end retirees and second-homeowners. Located just north of Beaufort, Open Grounds Farm, at 45,000 acres, is the largest farm east of the Mississippi River.

Abstract:
Since the mid-1970s, beach development has been largely confined to North Carolina's shoreline. Hotels, family homes, and campgrounds gradually changed to condos, high-end housing, and gated communities. As the shoreline filled up, development began moving inland from the coasts, and condominium complexes and housing communities are springing up along inland waterways. In Carteret County, the development is threatening a way of life for many families who can trace their ancestry back to the mid-1700s. Fishing families and boat builders find surviving difficult when dealing with rising taxes, poor markets, and loss of fish houses, boat yards, and boat docks.

Abstract:
This feud’s source was not of the Hatfield and McCoy ilk: it was a refinery for Carteret County. Pete Dorrance owned the business he promised was economically sound and environmentally clean. Against it was John Costlow, director of Duke University Marine Laboratory. He asserted a threat of oil spills carried an ecological damage price tag too high to pay.
