Wilmington officials are hosting an online public meeting on the proposed rail relocation.
The city is proposing a bypass route for the existing freight rail line between Davis Yard in Navassa and the N.C. Port of Wilmington. The proposed route would improve freight rail operations, regional transportation mobility and public safety, officials said. Regional population growth and regional growth of freight by rail are the two main factors driving the need for the project.
