wilmington city council

Wilmington City Council is calling for improvements to the city’s 311 reporting system.

Wilmington City Council passes a resolution urging the city to implement a tax abatement plan passed more than two years ago by council.

Wilmington City Council passes a resolution requesting the Plummer Community Corrections Center stay open.

Once Mayor John Carney signs the ordinance into law, the city will have 120 days to get the program running.

The funds will go toward design and construction to decrease contaminant levels.

Seven months into the transition, the city saw quicker emergency response times, according to City Councilmember Coby Owens.

Living downstate away from family and in whiter areas will put Plummer residents in more precarious situations where recidivism is more likely, according to City Councilmember Shané Darby.

City Council adopted Councilmember Shané Darby’s resolution last week 7-0 with six absent.

City Council passed a similar ordinance last month, but the mayor vetoed it shortly after, citing financial and legal liabilities.

Stops throughout the day included Urban Promise Wilmington, Parkview Apartments and William “Hicks” Anderson Community Center.
