From the meeting
The July 20, 2026 budget message said Vandemere would serve in FY 2026-2027 as the pilot community for East Carolina University's Blue Economy Corridor Initiative. The partnership was described as providing technical assistance, economic analysis, and planning support for coastal economic planning and development. No separate contract amount or selected consultant was listed, but the town positioned the effort as shaping future waterfront development, resiliency, and economic strategies.
This remained relevant after adoption because the pilot work was to begin in FY 2026-2027.
