    The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners met Monday night to decide whether to approve two rezoning request appeals requesting to switch two residential tax parcels to commercial zones, and a special use permit for a proposed kennel that’s subject to new requirements under a recently passed law. The Board also considered the creation of a cemetery committee. Here are some highlight's from the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners Aug. 17 meeting.
  • City of Wilmington/North Carolina Marine and Estuary Foundation
    North Carolina Marine and Estuary Foundation has allocated about half a million dollars to researchers at UNC Chapel Hill to investigate why two prominent local watersheds — Bradley Creek and Hewletts Creek — continue to have high fecal coliform levels. WHQR brought in Chad Thomas, who leads the nonprofit. He worked as a fishery scientist for the North Carolina Resources Commission for 30 years.
The Newsroom
  • This week, on The Newsroom, reporters Sofia Dinka and Kelly Kenoyer dig into the current status of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, after a private company’s bid got rejected last month. While the specifics for the replacement aren't nailed down, a toll bridge is looking more and more likely. We'll look at the history of 1898 with Reporter Rachel Keith and how it was framed by the media at the time. She attended an educator’s summit in Wilmington that made that history come alive. And we'll look at Kelly Kenoyer's top stories in the past five years before she leaves WHQR and Wilmington.
