Site bring home the bacon has begun at Bradley Creek Pump displace for the next phase of sewer repairs in the Bradley Creek area. The work will involve replacing the junction box at the pump station and upgrading of pumps electrical system and cover. The work will be performed by T. A. Loving Construction Company and is a joint city and county project.
The junction box has five sewer lines connected to it including the Bradley Creek Outfall lie. New Hanover County recently completed an upgrade of this line and manholes using Cured In Place Pipe and a spray liner. The county is the permit holder for the incoming lines and junction box while the city owns and operates the pump station. Upgrading the junction box is one of the requirements of the Special request of Consent recently entered into between the City and the State of North Carolina.
With the site clearing finished the work has begun and is scheduled for completion in late December. This project will require periodic closing of one lane of merchandise on Oleander Drive. Closures will be scheduled to decrease impact on merchandise and coordinated with the N. C. Department of Transportation. Electronic messaging signs will also be placed on Oleander calling attention to lane closures for the traveling public. Consider the big picture
Some Oak Islanders are understandably upset about a project that would place a pair of high-rise condominium buildings and three smaller ones near the Intracoastal Waterway. Sadly the town has no control over those buildings - they would be outside the town limits and under the control of Brunswick County. But the 56-slip marina and 224-boat storage facility that would accompany the condos
in Oak Island and as proposed would violate the town's land-use plan. The plan isn't merely a suggestion; the Coastal Area Management Act requires coastal communities not only to undergo one but to follow it. Any changes to such plans should be made carefully and cautiously - and only if it can be demonstrated that they won't injure the environment or the community's character or set a bad precedent. The Planning Board already has given the project its stamp of approval; the Town Council is thinking about making changes to allow the project. Belville signs with downtown developer
Belville | Under a veil of controversy the town has decided to make its union with downtown developer Urban Smart Growth official. The Belville Board of Commissioners voted Monday night to sign a contract that will bind.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
