FRIDAYS TOGETHER WITH

Good Morning Wilmington!

I made some rounds yesterday introducing myself to business owners, managers, employees and even patrons of businesses in the Port City. I want to thank all of them for talking to me.

We are so fortunate to have a vibrant and engaged business community. I stopped by unannounced but yet everyone was really generous with their time.

Run by a non-profit since 2018, the tower serves as a key viewpoint during hurricanes and rescue operations, fostering collaborations with Coast Guard, FAA, and Homeland Security.
