Duck Mayor Criticizes USACE for Terminating Long-Term Lease Negotiations for Public Safety Facility
DEFENSE
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has terminated eight years of negotiations for a long-term lease on property that houses Duck's public safety departments. The Town of Duck will need to vacate the property in five years unless a resolution is found.
Mayor Monica Thibodeau highlighted that the Town has already invested $115,000 in securing the lease and is reaching out to federal leadership for assistance. The current facility, operational since 1982, does not meet modern standards and supports over 30 personnel. The Town is also working with Dills Architects to assess space needs and design a new facility.
