Town encourages residents, property owners, and visitors to participate in statewide RCCP effort
Shallotte, NC — The Town of Shallotte is asking the community to take part in shaping its long‑term resilience strategy as it moves through the 2025 – 2026 cycle of the Resilient Coastal Communities Program (RCCP). The statewide initiative, administered through North Carolina’s Division of Coastal Management, helps coastal towns identify vulnerabilities, plan for future environmental challenges, and strengthen their ability to withstand natural hazards.
The Resilient Coastal Communities Program is a statewide effort that helps coastal towns:
- Identify flood risks and storm‑related vulnerabilities
- Engage residents to understand local problem areas
- Develop long‑term resilience and infrastructure plans
- Qualify for future state and federal funding for construction projects
Completing the RCCP process positions towns like Shallotte to pursue millions in resilience and stormwater‑related grants.
Town officials say community participation is a critical part of the process. Input gathered through the public survey will help identify local concerns, highlight areas most affected by flooding or other hazards, and guide the development of future resilience projects.
Residents, property owners, business owners, employees, and visitors are encouraged to learn more about the program and complete the survey. The information collected will support planning efforts and help the town pursue future funding opportunities.
Town leaders say the goal is to build a stronger, more resilient future for Shallotte, with community voices playing a central role in shaping the path forward.
