2nd dome rises at State Port

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The view of the State Port of Wilmington changed again overnight, as crews inflated Enviva’s second wood pellet dome.

The two domes are about 17 stories high and will house 45,000 metric tons of wood pellets.

The first dome was inflated last month.

The domes are part of Enviva’s $150 million investment in eastern North Carolina.
