WILMINGTON — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District is conducting a public comment period through June 30 and will host a public open house on June 13.
USACE, in partnership with the North Carolina State Ports Authority, is conducting an evaluation of technical and policy concerns in improvements to the Wilmington harboro, including deepening the main channel from 42 feet to 47 feet.
