Storm Updates

The Bald Head Island area is under a tropical storm warning. BHI Transportation has announced: "Be advised that due to high winds the river will be closed at 1:00am tonight. We expect to cancel runs Friday morning and into the afternoon. If you have a ferry reservation on Friday, please do not change it, as we will be taking passengers on a first come first serve basis until we are caught up. We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops and will be updating our website."

Village Council Candidate Forum

Monday, September 25, 2023

BHA's Association Center

Deadline for question submissions is Friday, September 22, 12:00pm

BHA will host a Village Council Candidate Forum on Monday, September 25, at 2:00pm in BHA’s Association Center (111 Lighthouse Wynd, Bald Head Island). The forum will be live via Zoom and recorded. The League of Women Voters (LWV) of Lower Cape Fear is managing and moderating the forum, as well as collecting and organizing the candidate questions submitted prior to the event. 

Email Your Questions — Email deadline is this Friday, September 22, at 12:00pm!

Questions for this forum from residents will be collected at an email address that the LWV has established. The email address for the Bald Head Island forum is baldheadislandforum@lwvlcf.org. No questions will be accepted that are directed to only one candidate. Instead, all questions will be sorted so that they are appropriate for all candidates. No candidates will receive the questions in advance.
