Nags Head commissioners adopt resolution opposing offshore oil and gas development
Summary
The Nags Head Board of Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution June 11 opposing proposed offshore oil and gas development and encouraged residents to submit public comments during the federal review period.
The Nags Head Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on June 11 to adopt a resolution opposing proposed offshore oil and gas development and urged residents to submit comments during the federal plan's public-comment period.
The mayor briefed the board on recent outreach from watchdog groups and county partners and noted Dare County had passed a similar resolution earlier in the week. The board discussed the federal rulemaking timeline and the opportunity for municipal comment; the mayor said the public comment period runs through mid-June and officers would provide guidance to residents who wish to comment.
The resolution expresses the board's opposition to offshore oil and gas development (as written in the circulated draft) and will be forwarded to relevant state and federal authorities and posted per town procedures.
The motion passed by voice vote; the hearing transcript records unanimous "I" responses but does not list roll-call tallies.
