Wrightsville Beach leaders vote to increase parking fees

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The next time you head to Wrightsville Beach, you'll have to pay more to park.

Town leaders voted to increase parking fees after the town lost revenue due to Hurricane Florence and a year of wet weather.

Hourly parking rates will increase 50 cents to $3 per hour at all street meters and in all lots, or just at lots with restrooms.

They also raised residential parking passes from $35 to $50.
