What’s next for WWAY’s former news station in downtown Wilmington?

LELAND, NC (WWAY) — Two weeks ago WWAY moved from downtown Wilmington to Leland.

The new owners of our former building could turn the site into a hotel chain, restaurant and apartments.

The owners have submitted an application seeking a Brownfields agreement with the state.

A Brownfield site is property that has an environmental contamination that hinders redevelopment.

The property at 615 North Front Street was part of the Atlantic Coast Railroad.

The site also contains gas and diesel underground storage tanks.

The application states that the site would include 250,000 square feet of retail, parking, guest suites and living space.
