Excavation has started on a new permeable paver road at the UNCW baseball stadium!
When laid, the pervious pavers will help soak in stormwater runoff from the stadium and surrounding buildings. This project is part of an EPA-funded 319 Grant partnership between the North Carolina Coastal Federation, UNCW, and the City of Wilmington’s Heal Our Waterways Program to help keep polluted runoff from reaching Bradley Creek.
A big thank you to McAdams Engineering for helping with project design and to Thorpe Landscaping for installing the new road.
