Once the work begins, it should take about four (4) weeks to complete. Tree replacement, where appropriate, will occur during the planting season in the spring and fall of 2024.
- A cost-sharing agreement with New Hanover County and the New Hanover County Schools to allow for replacement of the synthetic turf at Legion Stadium. If approved, the $690,000 cost would be shared equally among the three agencies and work would take place this Spring.
