Need advice on the Plymouth, NC area

I'm not sure where exactly you live at litte dolphin, but if I call recall your post history correctly it's in one of the areas I listed as being more welcoming to outsiders. As far as Mr. Martin, I believe he lives right in one the areas that historically has not been as welcoming.

Much of the open land in theose counties is part of the Croatan anyway. The plans to base Hornet Squadrons at Cherry Point was delayed (really scrapped) specualtively because of the absence of the OLF.

There has been talk about Oceana closing down all together and the Squadrons moving to Cherry Point, that may happen in a future BRAC. There will be additional planes coming to Cherry Pint as a result of replacing it's current fleet with the F-35. Though this is much different than previous proposal of moving actual Navy Squadrons to Cherry Point.

I can't see a full base being built in N. Eastern NC, b/c of the lack of infrastructure to support it. The biggest thing is that there are no major roads. The only feasible location would be somewhere along the US 64 corridor.

I can't see a new base being built, period. What is the most recent base built in the US? We are in the era of downsizing our bases, not building new ones. But I would love to see Oceana moved to ENC. To your first point, the new planes would either go to NC or VA. But I can see why people would be against it. They get all the negative without any positive.
