Rezoning Rejected

Star News article: "The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners on Monday unanimously rejected two rezoning requests that would have allowed a massive medical and retail complex just north of Porters Neck.

The project has been mired in controversy for months, with nearby residents concerned about traffic, building size and lighting, and environmentalists worried about the impact on Foy and Futch creeks.

Commissioners expressed some of the same concerns but seemed more worried about whether plans for a public hospital on the site would ever come to fruition."

I still think this will happen, but the SENCA group will need to get the full backing of the hospital first.
