The U.S. Army Corps denied Duck, NC, a long-term lease for emergency service land, threatening public safety and forcing plans for a new facility.
The Town of Duck, North Carolina, faces uncertainty after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers denied a long-term lease for federal land housing its fire, police, and surf rescue departments, ending eight years of negotiations.
Despite spending over $115,000 on environmental reviews and appraisals, the Corps offered only a short-term extension, leaving the 1982-era facility—no longer safe or functional—without a clear future.
Mayor Monica Thibodeau called the decision a setback for public safety and long-term planning.
The town has begun designing a new facility and escalated the issue to federal officials for resolution.
