The City of Beaufort is accepting applications for three full-time residents of the City of Beaufort to fill seats on the newly implemented Waterfront Advisory Committee (WAC).
This is a temporary committee that will be comprised of one member of City Council, one member of the Historic District Review Board, one member of the Planning Commission, one member of Beaufort County Council, and three full-time residents of the City of Beaufort.
The committee will be responsible for gathering information about the current uses and any possible prospective uses of both the Downtown Marina and Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park Seawall, sharing gathered information with City Council members, and advising City Council and the City Manager regarding any potential negotiations between the City and any third party for the future use of the Marina and Seawall.
“This is an opportunity for citizens to participate as part of an advisory committee to City Council that will help with key decisions affecting several challenges facing our Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park over the next few years,” City Mangare Scott Marshall said in a news release. “These challenges may include terms of leases and/or operating agreements, significant repairs and improvements to infrastructure and other concerns as needed.”
Applicants will reside full-time in the city limits of Beaufort. The application period closes on February 2, 2025. All qualified applicants must interview with City Council during the Council Worksession to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025, beginning at 5 p.m. in City Hall at 1911 Boundary Street. Selected members are to be seated in March.
