Bertie Beach project advances: path, shoreline stabilization and architect selection

Nov 4, 2025

Staff updated the board on Bertie Beach/Tall Glass Water Phase 2: a grant-funded 440‑foot path and shoreline stabilization ($80,000 grant), selection of Jolie Frazier PLLC as architect for phase 2, and pending SHPO clearance after archeological testing.

The full story

County project staff and consultants briefed the board on progress for the Bertie Beach/Tall Glass Water phase‑2 project on Nov. 3. Presenters described an upcoming community 'Explore the Outdoors' event and reviewed a grant that provides roughly $80,000 for a combination of a 440‑foot paved path and shoreline stabilization (no local match required). Project consultants said the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) had raised concerns about potential artifacts near a highlighted site but that recent shovel testing cleared the pink site and a final letter from SHPO was expected in about 30 days.
