In discussion of H.B. 1500, which would allow a more advantageous tier designation for a seafood industrial park, government subsidies for this industry are explained.
Wanchese Seafood Park is full. It was set up in 1979 in Dare County. They are looking to expand and set up additional parks. There is a facility near completion in Perquimans County: 72 acres.
The county has already provided water, sewer, and natural gas lines. The property will be transferred to the county (not sure why).
Seafood industrial parks are set up to offer government subsidies to the seafood and marine industries.
