MC persists in push to clear out Broad Creek channel

The Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) will hear a permit request from the Middlesex County Board of Supervisors (MCBS) to dredge the Broad Creek channel at the commission meeting Monday, Oct. 28. The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. in Newport News and can be watched online.

Going back to Dec. 7, 2023, MCBS voted unanimously to move forward with a “Broad Creek Emergency, targeted dredging design and implementation project.”
