Duke Energy has also improved its infrastructure by upgrading its transmission line over the Cape Fear River near the Port of Wilmington to accommodate larger ships and to increase the line’s capability to withstand higher winds. It has added protections around its substations, especially in flood-prone areas. And it has installed additional energy pathways on Bald Head Island to prevent flood-driven extended outages the island has seen in the past.

In areas of substantial growth – think Brunswick County and the Porters Neck area of New Hanover County – Duke’s infrastructure improvements aim to expand capacity to support businesses and homes, according to Brooks. The utility company is upgrading more than 100 wood poles in Brunswick County to steel poles, mainly in swampy, hard-to-access areas that saw outages in previous storms. And in Porters Neck, Duke Energy is adding a new substation and new transmission lines to improve the grid’s reliability and ability to serve a growing population.

The Kings Grant community will see its power lines buried, thanks to Duke Energy’s recognition of the area’s vulnerability to storm damage.

Ask Still what “infrastructure improvements” means to him, and he’ll discuss New Hanover County’s efforts since Hurricane Florence in 2018 to build a better shelter network using New Hanover County Schools.

“After Florence, we had some primary shelter sites that we’d used for a period of time. But things had happened to these shelter sites – mechanical failures, water intrusion – so we had to move to [other] schools.”

Now, two storms later, Still says his department has been working with the public schools to identify which locations would be optimal to use as shelters and what improvements are needed to ensure that these sites will have power and other necessities.

“We’re still doing facility assessments,” he continued, explaining that the county wants to make sure its shelters are spread out geographically and are not located in flood zones.

One of CFPUA’s primary concerns during a natural disaster is its ability to pump and treat water, so a reliable source of energy is a must. Hurricane Florence’s heavy sustained rains essentially cut off the county from the surrounding region by floodwaters, and the water utility was unable to receive additional fuel supplies from its contractor. Even so, because of advance measures it took before Florence hit, CFPUA was able to maintain uninterrupted water and sewer services to all but a few customers during the hurricane and its aftermath, spokesman Vaughn Hagerty said.

But the storm revealed vulnerabilities, and since then CFPUA has purchased its own fuel truck, trained and licensed personnel to drive it and secured certifications and hazmat clearance for them. If a fuel vendor cannot deliver supplies during an emergency, CFPUA can send in its own truck and crew.

“To ensure electrical power is available, critical CFPUA sites have emergency generators on-site yearround or that are dispatched to the sites ahead of severe weather,” company officials stated in a May 11 news release about its hurricane preparedness efforts.

CFPUA reviews its readiness every year before the start of hurricane season, and it leases additional fuel storage tanks for its two water treatment plants, two wastewater treatment plants, wastewater pump stations and groundwater well sites.

“In the event of a widespread, prolonged loss of power, stored fuel capacity would allow these facilities to continue running for days,” the release stated.

When a hurricane or tropical storm is approaching the region, CFPUA activates its emergency operations center, which remains in operation until the storm has passed and recovery is complete. Because in some severe weather events essential staff must shelter in place, CFPUA water and wastewater facilities have been equipped to house them.

To enable its customers to stay abreast of water and sewer conditions during emergencies, CFPUA has created an alert system. People can sign up at CFPUA.org/CivicReady.

Although strengthening grids and systems of many kinds is essential for hurricane preparedness, infrastructure improvements also extend to another kind of network: that of cooperative relationships that engage many parts of the community.

New Hanover County, like CFPUA, learned about its fuel vulnerability during Hurricane Florence and subsequent hurricanes.

“County government, especially in the area of public safety, that’s a fuel-intensive [operation] because of our generators, fleets, emergency services,” Still said. “We made sure after Florence, knowing that we can be cut off, that we had contracts with secondary and tertiary fuel suppliers.”

Connecting with local fuel suppliers was the start; now the county has woven a fabric of local businesses that can provide needed supplies of all sorts during emergency periods.

“If we make those relationships now while the skies are blue, they will [remain] during the storm,” Still said.

Another part of the local hurricane preparedness infrastructure has taken shape since Hurricane Florence, said Beth Schrader, director of New Hanover County’s Recovery & Resilience Office. That’s a network of agencies, schools, nonprofits and faith-based organizations that are working together to identify the most vulnerable populations and geographic areas and plan to ensure that future disasters do not leave them without resources.

“There were areas downtown during Hurricane Florence that were without power for as many as 18 days,” she said. “People lost [refrigerated] food and needed shelter. The absence of electricity can lead to lack of other services. People couldn’t charge their phones. Many didn’t have transportation and they couldn’t communicate.”

Schrader’s office is working with counterparts at the state level, Duke Energy and numerous business partners to find ways to improve the reliability of electricity to these vulnerable neighborhoods. Her office coordinates with the county Resiliency Task Force and Disaster Coalition, and she is part of the leadership of both groups.

The pandemic brought new situations and new challenges, further illustrating the need to improve services during hurricanes and other emergencies.

“We’re looking at data about the changes happening over time, ways we might minimize risk,” Schrader added. “We want to be able to have less bump and recover faster.”

Eyeing potential on S. College Road

BY CECE NUNN

More activity could be coming soon to vacant property in the 800 block of South College Road in Wilmington, and while it appears nothing’s settled yet, local real estate professionals and officials have best uses in mind.

The former Dick’s Sporting Goods store at 816 S. College Road, which includes a 51,000-square-foot building, is one of at least three spots in the block that need new users. The other are the former Kmart store, with its sea of parking, at 815 S. College Road, and a former Honda dealership at 821 S. College Road.

For the former Dick’s site, Brian Grabowski of Raleigh-based commercial real estate firm TradeMark Properties is the listing agent. The property might be getting close to seeing new life.

“We have significant interest from four national retailers, one that wants to take all of it and three that want to take half of it,” Grabowski said.

Of the potential outcome of those negotiations, he added, “The landlord is still evaluating the different possible scenarios.”

It’s the kind of real estate that national chains are drawn to, he said.

“It’s a signalized intersection; it’s got pylon signage right on College [Road],” Grabowski said. “It’s highly visible.”

The building for the former Dick’s Sporting Goods operation was built in the 1970s as a large-box retail building, said Hansen Matthews, partner in Maus, Warwick, Matthews & Co.

“It still has a lot of functional use if another large retailer wants to enter our market, and it could easily be subdivided to accommodate a couple of medium-sized retailers,” he said. “The 4-acre site has frontage on both College Road and Kerr Avenue, along with a traffic light entrance on College Road.

“This combination of factors is almost impossible to replicate and there are many great redevelopment retail uses for the site, including a mixed-use project with both retail and multifamily components.”

The former Stevenson-Hendrick Honda dealership property at 821 S. College Road was listed at a price of a little over $6.9 million last year after the dealership moved to a new facility on Market Street.

Stevenson purchased the property in 1992. Over time, the dealership grew from one building to three buildings totaling about 57,000 square feet on 7 acres, making it one of the largest dealerships in Southeastern North Carolina, according to a previous Greater Wilmington Business Journal article.

Cody Cress, Tyler Pegg and Will Daube, with The CRESS Group of Coldwell Banker Commercial Sun Coast Partners, are the listing agents.

“The site is still very functional and well set up for another local or national dealership to take advantage of the existing real estate,” according to a CRESS Group news release in September last year. “The site is located within close proximity to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington at a prime hard corner with substantial road frontage and a traffic count of 77,000 +/- vehicles daily.

“This also makes it very attractive to major national retailers or for a repurpose of the property into something new.”

Mark Johnson, executive vice president and sales manager of CBC Sun Coast Partners, who is not involved in the potential sale of the property, said one obvious use could be for another car dealership.

But he said he thinks the best use of the former Honda dealership or Kmart properties “would be some version of mixed use, with heavy emphasis on residential. I could see apartments in the back, townhomes as a bridge to some limited commercial up on College for either/both properties.”

Johnson and others said student housing, which had been proposed previously before Kmart renewed its lease, would make a lot of sense because of the site’s proximity to the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

A marketing brochure online by commercial real estate firm JLL calls the property at 815 S. College Road a “117,346-square-foot opportunity for lease in Wilmington’s prime commercial corridor” adding that a ground lease could be extended through 2028.

Efforts to reach representatives of JLL and property owner Jack A. Sneeden Corp. to find out whether the former Kmart property is still on the leasing market were not successful as of press time.

Also as of press time, there appeared to be no new proposals for the Kmart site going through the city planning department.

Given the proximity of both the Kmart and dealership sites to UNCW, “a natural fit would be for student housing, with ground floors dedicated to student related services, retail, dining, entertainment, etc. UNCW lacks a near-campus, walkable ‘main street’ or center like Hillsborough Street in Raleigh or Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. This area is large enough to fulfill that purpose,” said Glenn Harbeck, director of planning, development and transportation for the city of Wilmington.

In a news release last year, UNCW touted its growing enrollment numbers, which support the idea that more student housing is in demand in the area.

“Setting a new enrollment record, UNCW will welcome 17,915 students, including a record 3,265 total graduate students, this semester,” the September 2020 release stated. “UNCW’s graduate student population continues to grow at double-digit rates, a sign of the high demand for the university’s quality programs. The university led the UNC System in enrollment growth from 2009-2019 at a rate of 35%, and the next decade looks to be even more promising.”

Matthews said, “The Kmart site is perfect for student apartments, as is the former Honda dealership next door. Student housing is the highest and best use for that land, hands down.”

Despite the fact that they are all close to UNCW, the vacant South College Road properties have many differences.

“The Kmart property is clearly more conducive to retail, but the old Honda dealership is less so in my opinion,” Johnson said. “While I support mixed use as a concept, I think the zoning should allow for much more flexibility based on a specific property’s attributes like location, road frontage, neighboring commercial, etc.”

Properties like the former dealership site and the former Dick’s Sporting Goods can also be repurposed “for some sort of entertainment venue ... like the trampoline use at the old hhgregg in Mayfaire or Britts Motorsports on Market. It would be great to see a Top Golf enter our market.

“That said, I could still see a nice pocket of townhomes/apartments in this midtown location within walking distance to grocery, pharmacy, restaurant/brewery and other shopping,” Johnson said. “Maybe even an age-restricted or tax credit housing development.”
