Public Policy Meeting

The Public Policy Committee of the Wilmington Chamber oversees legislative and regulatory matters at the local, state, and federal levels, advocating for the interests of our members.
 
In our upcoming meeting, we are honored to have Layton Bedsole, the Shore Protection Coordinator of New Hanover County, as our guest speaker. New Hanover County is responsible for providing shore protection services along the coast, where various water resource infrastructure features must be preserved and maintained for the sake of the environment and the economy.
 
Bedsole will provide an update on beach renourishment, inlets, and shoreline investments concerning our local beaches. A Wilmington native, Bedsole has been with New Hanover County since 2012, having previously worked as a senior project manager for Dial Cordy and Associates, an environmental consulting firm, and as the Director of Environmental Affairs for the NC State Ports Authority.
