WILMINGTON—The northern riverfront of downtown Wilmington has seen development and revitalization in recent years by largely private endeavors.
Now, residents have the chance to add their voice to what the city does with a 6.4 acre tract of land it owns, north of the Northern Riverfront Marina and Hotel.
The land at 10 Cowan Street was sold for $3.6 million in 2013.
In 2016, the city approved a $20 million to be used toward the park as part of the 2016 Parks Bond.
Following a public input campaign, the city created a master plan for the land, which will be developed as the future site of North Waterfront Park.
On Monday, Nov. 27, residents are invited to city hall to add their input to “conceptual design alternatives” according to the city’s website.
In October, the city approved a multi-million dollar contract with Live Nation to manage a concert venue, located within the park.
The meeting is set to be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 102 N. 3rd St.
