CAPE CHARLES, Va. — Amid rising inquiries from local citizens about the Cape Charles Beach Master Plan, Town Manager John Hozey provided the Mirror an update on the project, confirming that it remains in its early stages.
Hozey explained that the town has yet to engage the consultant firm, VHB, for any design work. “The consultant has not yet been engaged to design anything,” Hozey said. “There were two phases to this work; developing the plan and then designing projects that might come from the plan. So far, we have only hired them for phase one.”
The first phase, according to Hozey, involves research, analysis, community outreach, and concept development. “We are currently still in the outreach and concept development stages,” he added.
The contract for the initial phase was awarded for $99,840, and VHB has been working on the project since January of this year.
No timeline has been provided for when the second phase, which will involve project design, might begin.
