Leland multi-use path awarded nearly $1M for engineering

The Town of Leland has been awarded $973,600 by the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization for the engineering and construction of a new 0.29-mile multi-use path. Connecting South Navassa Road to Loop Road, the 10-foot-wide path is designed to improve pedestrian and cyclist connectivity to local residential developments and recreational areas. The project aligns with regional transportation goals and the town's Integrated Mobility Plan to provide safer, more accessible transit options.
