A planned community center on Hatteras Island will cost $252,000 more than the original estimate, Dare County officials said Thursday. The increase will not delay the May 1 start of construction for the Fessenden Center.
The total cost is expected to be $1.2 million.
The local architecture firm of Quible and Associates blamed part of the increase on concerns about getting work crews, building materials and supplies to the Buxton site during the summer months. New language in the state building code calling for tough wind standards also will boost costs, the company said. by CNB
