The Wilmington City Council will hold a regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m. inside Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 102 North Third Street.

Items of interest include:

• A $350,00 contract agreement with a planning firm “Agency Landscape + Planning, L.L.C.” to develop the Greater Downtown Special Area Plan. The process is estimated to take approximately 16 months and includes extensive community outreach to residents and stakeholders within the 18-neighborhood study area. This plan will succeed previous plans adopted within the planning area for the Downtown, North Side, and South Side neighborhoods.
• A public hearing on the city’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that outlines the city’s distribution of Federal CDBG and HOME investment partnership program funds. These funds are used to help provide affordable housing opportunities in the city.
