Corps Proposes Changes Difficult for Urban Waterfront Investment The Corps of Engineers has issued a public notice which may impact proposed or existing waterfront buildings or projects in coastal North Carolina, especially Urban Waterfront locations. In short, the proposed policy will restrict or prohibit enclosed structures like restaurants, museums, etc. over navigable waters in North Carolina (and only in North Carolina). Boaters are increasingly attracted to waterfront communities, especially urban waterfront communities that are building or rebuilding to attract boaters to waterfront businesses and land-based tourists to these boating locations. You can find the information under the Commander’s Policy Memorandum entitled “Construction and Modification of Enclosed Structures over Navigable Waters in North Carolina.” Information is located on the web at
