At a special meeting Thursday, Oriental’s Town Board voted 4-1 to approve a harbor area land swap with Chris Fulcher. Almost a dozen people commented before the vote. None spoke in favor of the swap in which the town would give up three times as much land as it would get. The Board will have to hold a public hearing – scheduled for July 3 – before it can give up the rights of way. For a map showing the swap, click here. For reader reaction, see Letters To The Editor.
