Southport is a charming, historic get away for many, part of the "unique experience" traveling to Bald Head Island, and a special place to live. It is also a port, and always has been, and the best location for any new port expansion in our area. This expansion would benefit many and secure the entire area, including the port city of Wilmington, into the future. Yes, it would change and expand Southport with something other than tourists, retirees, and "bedroom community" residents. I ask, if the roads are made adequate (which they must be), would this not ultimately be a positive advancement. Please remember, this area is fine with a nuclear power plant.
