CARTERET COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) – Eastern Carolinians have the chance to voice their input on the future of transportation decision-making.

Carteret County will host a public information meeting on Tuesday, March 7, about a Comprehensive Transportation Plan. This meeting will be from 5:30-7 p.m. at Fort Benjamin Park, 100 McQueen Ave. in Newport.

This meeting will be an informal, open-house-style format with no formal presentation. There will be representatives from the Department of Transportation and Carteret County who can answer questions and receive comments. All questions and comments will be received and taken into consideration as the plan develops.
