Description:

This grant provided funding to the Carteret Community College Foundation, Inc to repair and enhance protection of the shoreline at the campus of Carteret Community College. Existing protective measures had been swept away during Hurricane Florence, resulting in erosion of the bank. There were four buildings located directly on the damaged bank. Enhanced protection measures developed to prevent future erosion and protect buildings from future storms included replacement of eroded dirt, addition of more stone, and conversion of a section to a living shoreline. Golden LEAF Disaster Recovery Grant Program funds were used along with FEMA and college funds to enable completion of the project.
