Funding to Rebuild Jennette's Pier has been included in next year's budget and sent to the Governor for approval.
2.5 Million has been included it the 2008 NC budget to rebuild the pier. What happens next is unknown. Some of us feel that if it is rebuilt it should be leased to a private operator, but it is not clear what the plans are for the pier once it is rebuilt.




Every Pier that has a website has been linked on the Current Pier Page on the NCFPS Website. Check it out here at http://ncfps.com/North_Carolina_Fishing_Pier.html
