In this Wednesday preview, Matt walks through the Wilmington City Council agenda for Thursday, March 19, 2026.
The workshop includes a presentation on downtown flowers, plus legislation review on Curtis Drive reconstruction, North Spring Street Phase 1, finance items, and landfill notes.
In the regular meeting, council will hold a public hearing on the Minor Subdivision Review Committee amendment, take up the downtown parking sign ordinance on second reading, consider the East End property purchase on third reading, and move through several first-reading finance and infrastructure items.
Matt also briefly notes that curbside recycling and fluoridation are not on this week’s agenda, despite the recent Public Works Committee recommendation, and he flags the East End purchase as the item that still needs a clearer public explanation before council votes.
