Public Marina coming to New Bern


Swiss Bear Downtown Development Corporation has received a $646,650 federal grant to create a public marina for transient boaters on Jack's Island at Lawson Creek Park.

The money comes from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and is intended specifically for boating infrastructure projects. The grant is expected to pay for nearly half of a $1.4 million construction project that will create a 14-slip marina.

Of those, 12 slips would be available to the public, one would be for a "pump out" boat and one for a safety vessel. Dubbed the River History Marina, it would provide the first public, short-term dockage available in New Bern.

The marina is designed for 35- to 40-foot boats that would dock there no longer than 10 days. Boaters would be charged a base fee, and then $1.50 a foot per vessel.

The marina project also includes a dock master's office that is a replica of the Neuse River Lighthouse.

There are many misconceptions about this credit and one of them is that if you previously owned a home you cannot qualify. WRRONG First time buyer is a buyer that have not purchased home in the last 3 years! There might me more for you to learn so please take your time and watch this great video that explains it very well.

Helping to get you in to that home....


    Real Estate is a dynamic industry and it is constantly changing, now probably more then ever. With mortgage industry struggling to bounce back it is very hard if not impossible to stay informed about current requirements to qualify for the mortgage. In a constant effort to get you in to your dream home I am currently advising all of my sellers to offer assistance with closing cost and for limited time you can ask for it on all of my listings. Some properties like 511 C St. in New Bern already comes with $5,000 in closing cost assistance and 2110 Center Ave. is currently offered with $3,000 in closing cost. That should significantly reduce your out of pocket money for the closing and hopefully get you in to the right home for your family.
