REMINDERS
Wilmington Harbor Maintenance Project – Mobilization for this project has begun and construction is projected to begin on January 11, 2021, and conclude on or about March 3, 2021, please follow the Village’s updates on THIS WEBPAGE. If you have property near the project area and will have renters, this page will give them an idea of what to expect during construction.
Creek Access – If you already have a space at the Village Creek Access for your vessel, Creek Access permits have been mailed with payment due by the 15th of January, 2021. If you would prefer your permit be emailed, please contact Daralyn at dspivey@villagebhi.org. Please review the information/address on the form and correct it if needed. The permit needs to be filled out in its entirety and returned to the attention of Daralyn Spivey. Once payment is received, a permit number will be assigned, and staff will affix the stickers to the vessel for you. Permits are issued per vessel as opposed to per space.
If you are interested in using a space at the Creek Access, contact Daralyn (dspivey@villagebhi.org or 910-457-9700 ext. 1001) and if there is space available, she will get a space assigned to you once the proper paperwork is filled out and submitted. These spaces are permitted annually at the calendar year.
