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
