There was an article in the Morehead newspaper last Sunday about the construction of some much needed boat ramps in Morehead. It mentioned possibly building six ramps at the site of the new fishing pier on the newport river right across HWY 70 from Radio Island Marina. The question I have for anyone with some inside information is this - It the building of the ramps a done deal or is it some wishfull thinking depending on getting some type of grant or something?
New Boat Ramps in Morehead

From the Carteret News Times:
The county was awarded a grant to upgrade the West Beaufort Water Access site and is pursuing funding for other projects, such as the expansion of the Newport River Public Access site on Radio Island. It is also pursuing a feasibility study, along with Morehead City, to determine whether it would be viable to move the Morehead City harborline out 75 feet to the south. Doing so would increase the amount of public and private dockage available.
