The County of Dare is projecting a 50% loss of tax revenue for June and a 40% loss in July. That revenue largely comes from tourism industry. Speaks volumes of what the county is expecting. I suspect that the revenue loss will be greater than that and if the virus spreads here as it has everywhere else that has re-opened and reduced mitigation rules, there will be no tourism in July, August, who knows for how long.
BTW, the areas that are the slowest to recover from a economic crisis are areas that rely on tourism. Fact learned from 2008-09 Great Recession.
It would have been better to wait until July 1 to gauge where the country is and completely prepare the area here for tourists. Then make a decision that is better informed.

I guess if the transplants want vote them out the lack of funds will eliminate a few government positions that is a start. Less cops means less police state mentality. Dare county secret meetings making decisions without public input will continue regardless and Dare county’s transplants and the few locals that still exist will continue to suffer. Your public officials bankrupted your businesses and segregated your community so a lack of funding for that type of government is not such a bad thing except for the kid programs. I guess you will drop this one also OBX voice.

I wholeheartedly agree, July 1st would have been a much better date! One should always err on the side of caution during a global pandemic.
