北卡罗来纳州的“Harbor Towns”旅游项目面临两艘渡轮的拖延, North Carolina's "Harbor Towns" tourism project faces delays with two ferries, despite $15M in funding and recent Coast Guard approval.

在北卡罗来纳州东北部的一个名为“Harbor Towns”的国家资助旅游项目正在推动六个滨海城镇在Albemarle Queen上进行周末巡航,吸引来自弗吉尼亚州和东北卡罗来纳州的游客。 A state-funded tourism project called "Harbor Towns" in northeastern North Carolina is promoting six waterfront towns with weekend cruises on the Albemarle Queen, drawing visitors from Virginia and eastern North Carolina. 尽管国家供资和基础设施升级了1 500万美元,但为该项目购买的两艘高速渡轮由于机械和制造问题而一再出现延误,海岸警卫队最近才清空这些渡轮供使用。 Despite $15 million in state funding and infrastructure upgrades, two high-speed ferries purchased for the project have faced repeated delays due to mechanical and manufacturing issues, with the Coast Guard only recently clearing them for service. 现在官员们正在重新评估他们的长期用途,尽管这一倡议继续有望促进区域旅游业和经济增长。 Officials are now reassessing their long-term use, though the initiative continues with hopes of boosting regional tourism and economic growth.
