CAPE CHARLES, Va. — Cape Charles Capital Projects Manager reported steady progress this month on a number of town initiatives, ranging from office relocations to infrastructure upgrades.
The town continues to coordinate with Trinity United Methodist Church on cleanout and repair work at the church’s leased space, which will temporarily house Cape Charles’ administrative offices. The move-in date is scheduled for October 23. Meanwhile, the Police Department is preparing to shift its operations to the second floor of the Municipal Building.
Planning is also advancing on several infrastructure projects. Two bids were received for the construction of handicapped-accessible parking spaces at the eastern end of Park Row, with a contract award expected next week. A contractor has also been briefed on concerns from residents regarding the project.
At the September 4 Special Meeting, Town Council authorized a contract for Phase 2 of the Harbor Boardwalk Reconstruction. Contract documents have since been executed by the Town Manager and sent to the contractor for final signature.
In addition, the town received a proposal from HBA for a conceptual site plan for new public restrooms at Peach Street and Mason Avenue, with completion anticipated within a month.
The update also highlighted progress on water supply infrastructure. A deed of easement has been secured on Virginia Port Authority property, clearing the way for construction of pipelines between the KW 1 and 2 well sites and the Water Treatment Plant. Officials are still working to resolve a separate easement issue involving Canonie Atlantic property.
On the housing front, the due date for Workforce Housing Development proposals has been extended to November 5, pending resolution of water supply delays. Four developers have expressed interest in the project.
