FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mayor Marty Orr wishes to announce that the Wilmington City Council recently adopted an ordinance to encourage construction of new residential housing. The City of Wilmington is waiving the collection of all impact and connection fees for the next thirty (30) approved residential zoned lots. The fees being waived are the $8,000 water and sewer connection/tap on fees and $4,600 (estimated) of school, park and library impact fees. Therefore, the previous building permit fee costs were $14,000 (estimated).

Now, the building permit costs will be $1,350 which is a reduction of $12,600 to the costs for construction of new homes in Wilmington to promote and encourage housing construction of vacant improved lots.
