Pause on select capital projects

The county wants to hit pause — just for 34 days — on projects like the Harbor Point boat ramp, Port Regional Stormwater, and the Sunshine Kitchen chiller plant. The worry: building them is one thing, but there may be no money to staff and maintain them if the tax measure passes.
