• Two Morehead City areas designated for federal economic development incentives (wcti12.com) — Two Morehead City areas will qualify for federal tax incentives aimed at attracting private investment starting Jan. 1, 2027. The 10-year Opportunity Zone designations retain one previously eligible census tract and add another, potentially helping finance local businesses and development projects, though no specific investments were announced.
