The EDENTON GAZETTE – CHOWAN EDENTON ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP SPRING SURVEY will close for submissions this Friday. April 23, 2021!

We are looking for everyone to participate this year. We have good input so far but need more responses to be as comprehensive as we can with community input, which we will review and report on after the survey has completed.

We will also be sending for every 10th submission a Chowan Edenton Environmental Group give away 10 CEEG canvas tote bags with their logo. Please be sure to add your contact information in the survey, we will reach out if you will receieve one.

To add more clarity to the current policy in draft from our earlier article, after a brief discussion with Anne-Marie Knighton, Town Manager, and our previous article – Edenton, North Carolina – an open and friendly town built on travelers and tourists leaning towards more restrictive policies against short-term rentals. Edenton’s short-term rental policy has been in the making since 2017, including assistance from UNC Shcool of Government to assist in drafting policy for a small town like ours. Please take time to read the updates concerning how they would apply to specific rental properties (listed below).

The remaining elements of this policy being finalized centers around Whole-House rentals, where the owner is not on location, where additional requirements are asked for such as a local responsible contact who can ensure that the policies and house rules are followed. The end result of the policy will be a body of work shaped by citizens if you have contributed your input and professionals concerning town planning and policy. Many of Edenton’s newest residents stayed in an Airbnb in Edenton, fell in love, purchased a home, and moved here.
