City of Northwest against MSA realignment

The City of Northwest City Council has joined several other town leaders in adopting a resolution to request the US Office of Management and Budget revise its recent metropolitan area alignment by returning Brunswick County to Wilmington.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The City of Northwest City Council has joined several other town leaders in adopting a resolution to request the US Office of Management and Budget revise its recent metropolitan area alignment by returning Brunswick County to Wilmington.

Brunswick County was moved in the Myrtle Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area earlier this year, and several leaders are firing back against the change.

A county's MSA designation is important for economic development. Companies use it as a quick study on a county's infrastructure, cultural and workforce services.

The move by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget reflects 2010 Census figures showing much of the growth in southern Brunswick County nearer the South Carolina state line.

McIntyre disagrees with Brunswick Co. removed from Wilm. Metropolitan Statistical Area

McIntyre disagrees with Brunswick Co. removed from Wilm. Metropolitan Statistical Area

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (AP/WECT) – The Wilmington metropolitan area is getting smaller, at least as far as the federal government is concerned.

There are reports that Brunswick County has been moved into the Myrtle Beach, SC Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The move by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget reflects 2010 Census figures showing much of the growth in southern Brunswick County nearer the South Carolina state line.

Congressman Mike McIntyre released the following statement on Brunswick County being removed from the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area:

“It makes no practical, economic, or common sense for Brunswick County to be pulled out of the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and placed in the Myrtle Beach MSA.  Our office is working with local officials and leaders to gather information so that we can appropriately respond to this unfortunate decision.  We will do all that we can to reverse this decision.”

Committee envisions potential river walk in Belville

Committee envisions potential river walk in Belville

BELVILLE, NC (WECT) – A committee for the potential new river walk in Belville was created Tuesday and members created a vision of what it could look like.

The committee decided restaurants and shops built at the start of the trail will look similar to buildings in Wilmington from the late 1800s, to serve as a living history lesson.

The proposed river walk would go along the Brunswick River and also include a boardwalk, paths and a viewing tower.

The project recently received its first grant for engineering surveys.
