Former North Carolina House member Rick Catlin has been appointed to the N.C. Coastal Resources Commission. 

 

Catlin, a Republican who represented Wilmington, was co-chairman of the House Environment Committee. He received an award last year from the N.C. Coastal Federation for his efforts to protect and restore coastal resources. 

 

The governor has appointed Holly Grange to fill out the remainder of Catlin’s term this year. Grange won the Republican primary in March; she is unopposed on the fall ballot.

 

The Coastal Resources Commission establishes policies and adopts rules for coastal development.
