Comments
This is an inaccurately titled bill. It is not about "Albemarle and Currituck counties." (Albemarle County is in Central Virginia, nowhere near the ocean. Currituck County in in northeast North Carolina, including part of the Outer Banks.) Instead, this bill is about the Albemarle and Currituck watersheds.
