• Navy Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) W-2: Jan. 5

• Reserve Component USA, USAF, USN W-2: Jan. 8

• Active/Reserve Component Marine Corps W-2: Jan. 13

Additionally, most tax forms are due to you no later than Jan. 31.  If you expected to receive a form and have not received it by Jan. 31, reach out to the person expected to send the form.

• Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Environmental Affairs Department is conducting shoreline research along the Neuse River off the installation’s shoreline starting this week.

• Roughly 50 devices, settlement plates (see photos), will be temporarily place in the waters just off the shore. Because of the depth at which the devices will be installed, they are likely to be exposed at times.

• EAD advises individuals using the area recreationally or otherwise to NOT DISTURB the settlement plates. They are part of an ongoing study and are vital to the department for gathering data.

• Contact the Environmental Affairs Department at 252-466-4826 for more information

Road Closures:

Sixth Avenue Closing: Starting Dec. 5, construction toward completing the Flight Line Utility Modernization Project (P-235) requires an extended closure of Sixth Avenue. The first phase of the closure will block flight line access at Gate 9, requiring personnel to use a temporary access control point at Reindeer Road (Gate 5 next to the flight line Fuel Farm). Starting Dec. 12, Sixth Avenue from its intersection at A Street to C Street will close. The community should prepare for the extended closure of Sixth Avenue from D Street to the Fifth Avenue extension, tentatively scheduled to occur at the start of 2021. Accomplishment of P-235 will also impact parking and access to buildings along the route.

The accomplishment of P-235 will have dynamic impacts to multiple areas of the installation, thus the community is advised to expect that timelines and dates are likely to change due to the nature of construction planning and programming.
