Reminder: Please Submit Formal Comments on Beach Master Plan

This Mirror story revealed a comprehensive Beachfront Master Plan designed to enhance the town’s coastline, integrating a variety of public spaces and amenities while preserving the area’s natural beauty.

Many of you voiced comments, both pros and cons on the Mirror news portal, as well as on social media, Facebook and X (Twitter). While those comments are important (the Mirror compiled and submitted them to the Town), they will not be recognized as legitimate as Cape Charles moves forward with the project. In other words, they will not be taken into consideration as the Town meets with the consultants to finalize the concepts that are presented in the beach plan.

It is important that your voices are heard, and the Town does want to hear your opinions. Just because you don’t own property in town, or no longer reside inside Cape Charles, the fate of Public Beach, while it is still public, concerns you and your family. Locals have a stake in what happens to the beach and need to speak up.

Let them know what you think.

All comments should be submitted either through the Beachfront Master Plan Virtual Public Meeting Room, or by email to our Town Clerk Libby Hume – Email: clerk@capecharles.org.

It is also important that if you email your comments to Libby, be sure that they appear in the proper survey format:

1. Enter your Full Name:
2. Enter your address:
3. Submit your relationship to the town: Full-time resident living within the corporate limits of Cape Charles, Resides in Northampton County but outside the corporate limits of Cape Charles, Owns property within the Town of Cape Charles but maintains a primary residence outside of the town, or Resides outside Northampton County but a frequent visitor to Cape Charles
