The Cape Fear Crossing & Brunswick Forest

Cape Fear Crossing Irks Brunswick Forest

hi i'm jay seville the owner of

wilmington real estate comments

wilmington - real - estate calm i am a

passionate consumer advocate and realtor

in southeast North Carolina and also

have done a lot of business in Northern

Virginia in Washington DC

today I'm going to discuss and put on

the table as succinctly as possible a

lot of information that I've recently

digested about the Brunswick Forest Cape Fear Crossing controversy

for the region and this is from the

North Carolina Department of

Transportation this Cape Fear crossing

project has been 26 years in the making

and could potentially affect some

neighborhoods in the area and those two

neighborhoods are Brunswick Forest and

Mallory Creek plantation in particular

so I'm going to go over some different

maps and scenarios with you and at the

end I may even give a little opening

some passionate thoughts about what I

think the North Carolina Department of

Transportation and the state itself

should do about this whole situation

number one or let me let me say this

contact me and I will have on this sheet

here a nice PDF with tons of information

on it ready to go for you and I'll send

you a copy of this PDF file mainly it's

information from links to Wilmington

viscom in the port city daily.com

newspapers in our area along with the

North the NC gov website and the maps

and stuff this is the area that we're

talking about here in Brunswick County

and this project in 26 years in the

making the goal is to have a third cross

over in the Wellington another bridge

crossing the Cape Fear River and right

now there are several options for it

here's six of them right here one of

them alternative V in the middle of

Brunswick County that was going to cross

over up here on the north side of

Wilmington just got crossed off the list

because it was going to affect historic

district or historic areas of

Bloomington and that's a no-go and the

reason that was appealing my

understanding is is it was going to cost

less but that recently got ruled out now

you have these other options the

challenges for the Wilmington excuse me

for the Cape your crossing is this

alternative tea here it's supposed to

cost two hundred and thirty million

dollars less than some of the other

options and of course that's the option

that happens to be going in between

Brunswick forest and Mallory Creek

plantation so what happened was the

state for decades has had the right and

the authority to freeze land where it
