Current Projects/Activities Impacting Cypress Landing
 
  HWY 17 Business road closure and RR bridge replacement
  Impact: Hwy 17 Business closed between Chocowinity and Washington.  Bypass is US 17.
  Current Timing:  From Nov 2021 to at least spring 2023.
  Updates/progress reports: 
 
 
 
 
 
  Title:  Natural Gas Lines underground
  Impact: community-wide installation of gas lines near roads
  Current Timing:  Reportedly, engineering studies complete, no budget figures due to unstable economy
  Updates/progress reports: LRAC continue to monitor; no future "survey" expected of  who/how many residents might switch to natural gas; construction might use the "boring method" to minimize effects; no expected direct cost to potential future customers.
 
 
 
 
 
  Title: Grimesland RR bridge closure/repairs HWY 33
  Impact: CL Residents traveling HWY 33 toward Greenville will be forced to detour during demo/construction of bridge
  Current Timing:  pre-construction utilities work currently underway; construction MAY begin by August 2022 (yes, this year) with similar effects to HWY 17 RR bridge between Choco and Washington
  Updates/progress reports: LRAC continue to monitor pre-construction phase; maintain local NCDOT contacts; continue to inform CL community.
 
 
 
 
 
  Title: Chocowinity HWY 33 bridge/road widening, repair/replacement (between Old Blounts Creek Road and Gray Road)
  Impact: slight/minimized construction delays possible; NO DETOUR planned
  Current Timing:  construction bids expected to be "let" in 2023-24; some pre-construction work and land acquisition has occurred; Town of Choco Utilities in early planning stage.
  Updates/progress reports: LRAC continuing to develop local NCDOT contact info; drone videos "before and during" (similar to HWY 17 project) expected.
 
 
 
 
 
  Title: State road maintenance within community
  Impact: Safety and appearance of our local roads (most CL roads are state-owned/maintained)
  Current Timing:  Ongoing monitoring by LRAC and CLMHOA; work done according to NCDOT schedule (NCDOT TIP site)
  Updates/progress reports: LRAC developing local NCDOT contact relationship.
 
 
 
 
 
  Title: 5G Cell Tower in Cypress Landing for possible "revenue stream" to CLMHOA
  Impact: Increase financial inflow to community?
  Current Timing:  LRAC has been following this possible funding source for more than a year without much clear progress
  Updates/progress reports: LRAC recommends NO further action be taken; 5G consulting companies take 50-75% of fees generated (no defined $ amount); such fees make this less desirable to CL as a revenue source.
