Historic Win for Dare County Educators

The Dare Education Foundation has reached a major milestone in its mission to support local educators with affordable housing. The Dare County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a historic $1.15 million capital investment to help expand DEF's teacher housing community at Run Hill Ridge, adding 12 new apartments and increasing the Foundation's housing inventory from 36 to 48 units. Combined with financing and a generous gift from TowneBank, the project represents a powerful public-private partnership that will strengthen teacher recruitment and retention across Dare County. Construction is expected to begin soon, with completion anticipated in less than 18 months. Read the full press release below for additional details.
