Brunswick County Board Reverses Stormwater Permit for Proposed Southport Development
What happened
The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners reversed the staff's decision regarding stormwater permits for a development planned near Southport. The appeal, which was the first in over 15 years, concerned a 362-unit multifamily development consisting of townhomes and apartments on 43 acres. The county board sided with residents in the dispute, though the developer, Hillpointe LLC, still requires final plat approval from county planning staff.

Why it matters

Brunswick County is currently reviewing rezoning properties in Southport as part of ongoing development activity in the county.
