Final green light given for Vertex road improvements

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — City Council approved handing over the extension of Raleigh St. to the North Carolina Department of Transportation. This is so improvements can be made for the road to handle increased traffic for Vertex rail.

The company expects more than 1300 folks to be employed there once they open their doors. City Council and the County Commission recently approved more than $600,000 to improve that road.
