North Carolina's "Harbor Towns" tourism project faces delays with two ferries, despite $15M in funding and recent Coast Guard approval.
A state-funded tourism project called "Harbor Towns" in northeastern North Carolina is promoting six waterfront towns with weekend cruises on the Albemarle Queen, drawing visitors from Virginia and eastern North Carolina.
Despite $15 million in state funding and infrastructure upgrades, two high-speed ferries purchased for the project have faced repeated delays due to mechanical and manufacturing issues, with the Coast Guard only recently clearing them for service.
Officials are now reassessing their long-term use, though the initiative continues with hopes of boosting regional tourism and economic growth.
