SWAN QUARTER — After nine months of meetings, research, public workshops, and community surveys the Hyde County Office of Planning and Economic Development is pleased to announce the completion of the 2014 Hyde County Parks and Recreation Master Plan.  The Hyde County Board of Commissioners officially adopted the plan on July 7, 2014.

Long-range plans are excellent comprehensive tools for guiding community development. The updated plan is complete with an existing asset summary, state recreation guidelines, community identified needs, and potential grant funding sources. Results from Ocracoke and mainland Hyde are clearly separated, and countywide trends are also identified.

HYDE COUNTY | CONTRIBUTED PROJECTS: Hyde County recently released its 2014 Hyde County Park and Recreation Master Plan. The plan highlights short-term and long-term plans to develop community resources and projects.
