The Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen approved several items on the agenda during Thursday’s meeting:
- The town will ask the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization to seek $100,000 in federal funding for a transportation study on maintenance, additions and a potential replacement for the Heide Trask Drawbridge.
- By a 3-2 vote, the board promoted Frank Smith, Jr. to the Wrightsville Beach CAMA Land Use Plan Steering Committee, over Allen Rippy. Both were alternates on the 13-member committee, but after member Robert Tillman withdrew due to scheduling conflicts, the board promoted Smith, while Rippy will be the lone alternate. It also adopted a public participation plan for the process.
- The town will move forward on negotiations with Highfill Infrastructure Engineering on a “scope of work” and cost proposal for the engineering and permitting of a duplicate sewer force main.
- The town will explore potential zoning changes needed for long-term leasing of the former fire station building at 5 Live Oak Drive.
- The Board of Aldermen retreat was set for Saturday, February 11, 2017 at 8 a.m.
