South Port Investors LLC has cleared two more hurdles in its quest to construct a yacht repair facility adjacent to the town harbor.
Cape Charles Town Council on February 7 awarded South Port two 40-year encroachment easements at the harbor.
The easements were put out for bid and were advertised as required by law. South Port’s offer of $100 was the sole bid.
