We are so excited to be moving forward! Construction on our new amphitheater will begin soon!! Take a look at how the Madison Street Park is designed to support both downtown enhancement and responsible stormwater management. This graphic shows how water will move through the site using inlets, catch basins, filtration systems, underground infrastructure, and the wet pond to help improve conditions in this area. While this project is not intended to solve flooding citywide, it is designed to make this site function better than has previously while creating a beautiful new space for our community to enjoy.

Our Emergency Manager attended The Voices in the Storm Symposium in New Hanover County to discuss hurricane preparedness, readiness, coordination, and communication during tropical weather events. Emergency Mangers elected officials and partners from eastern NC participated in the symposium. Speakers from the National Hurricane Center, NOAA Aviation Operations, NC Emergency Management, National Weather Service, and other partners were involved in the symposium.

Yesterday, we were proud to celebrate the ribbon cutting for Seven Ten South! 🎉 What began as an online business more than 10 years ago has now grown into a brick and mortar storefront in downtown Whiteville — a true example of the growth, dedication, and entrepreneurial spirit we strive to support in our community. Seeing local businesses grow and invest back into our downtown is exactly the kind of success story we love to celebrate. City Manager Sean Martin, Economic Development Director Madison Ward, and Community Engagement & Events Coordinator Emily Cross were in attendance alongside county representatives, Chamber board members, and community members to help mark this exciting milestone. Congratulations to Seven Ten South on this new chapter — we are excited to see your continued success in downtown Whiteville! ✨
