Lumber River State Park Directives.

HB 889 requires North Carolina's Department of Natural and Cultural Resources to negotiate an agreement with Fair Bluff town by March 2026 to manage Lumber River State Park's River Walk, adjacent park, and parking areas as a single unit. It directs the department to use Fair Bluff's existing Lumber River Visitors Center as the park's headquarters, clarifying that no new admission fees are required except for special events or private rentals. The agreement must define management responsibilities for shared spaces, outline how user fees (for events only) will be handled, and address asset transfers between the town and state. This bill does not create new fees or regulations but reorganizes park management structure and location.
