Mile markers bearing the blue shield officially began going up in the eastbound direction in the days prior to the ceremony according to Andrew Barksdale, public relations officer for NCDOT Districts 2, 4 and 6. Jeff Cabaniss, division engineer for District 2, said that about 900 signs will be changed out intermittently at a cost of about $9 million.
A timeline cannot be established, according to Cabaniss, due to supply chain issues like an aluminum shortage. He expects larger signs, which require a foundation, to be switched out when the opportunity arises, while mile markers and other smaller signs are dovetailed throughout the stretch. The words “Future I-587” are being phased out of signs as well.
The city’s plan to sell property it owns to developers of an apartment complex and parking garage got a thumbs up this week from the director of a museum that will be relocated and local arts and historic preservation leaders.
The sale of property that houses the N.C. Museum of Natural Science was one of two development agreements the City Council unanimously approved Monday to redevelop an area along Dickinson Avenue and Flicken and Washington streets.
The city plans to sell .65-acre property at 729 Dickinson Avenue to Taft Corporate Office for $1.24 million. The property will be combined with other land Taft owns to build an 150-unit apartment complex and parking deck. The project has an estimated value of $30 million.
Along with buying the property, Taff has agreed to relocate the museum of and adjacent Art Lab to the nearby historic Cupola building.
Further down the block, Stark Holdings plans to rehabilitate for the former E.B. Ficklen tobacco warehouse to house a Marriott boutique hotel, restaurant and event space.
That project has an estimated value of $20 million, Deputy City Manager Michael Cowin said. Combined, the two projects should increase the city’s tax revenue by $180,000 annually.
Anyone know what they are building at the intersection of Arlington and Dickinson Ave? They broke ground there a few days ago beside the Dunkin Donuts.
Was downtown Wilmington last week and noticed the new(ish) Truist building there. I wish they would so something like this in UpTown Greenville in their current location. That corner has great potential that isn't currently, severely underutilized.
