Examples of what other
Wilmingtonians are saying
we need for the future:
John “It would be great to have some
‘destinations’ at the north end of the
riverwalk to sit outside and have a
cup of coffee or inexpensive meal.”
Ronnie “Improve the appearance of
Carolina Beach Road from Greenfield
Lake to Shipyard Boulevard.”
David “Let’s become known for
being a great bicycling city.”
Clauston “Focus on things we do well:
retirement, arts, food and medicine.”
City seeks citizen input in a new way
Do you have ideas on how to make Wilmington a better place to live?
Now there is a website where you can share ideas and interact with
others. The new site makes it easier and more convenient for citizens
to provide feedback on important city issues and creates a healthy
dialog about the city’s future.
The interactive tool provides an online forum to submit and vote on
ideas, pictures and comments and provide input that will help shape
the future of Wilmington.
The site is initially focusing on the city’s long-term plan
for growth and development, but will ultimately be used to
gather citizen input on a variety of city issues and projects.
How it works
Citizens can provide input in a number of ways:
• Respond to questions
• Submit ideas
“It is critical today that the city engage with our citizens in a way that
is convenient and easy for them,” said the city’s Communications
Manager Malissa Talbert.
• Review ideas of other citizens
“While we will continue
to see input in traditional
face-to-face settings, we
also want to provide an
alternative for citizens who
may not have time to come
to a meeting, or find it more
comfortable to provide input
in another way. This tool
gives us a way to do that,”
said Talbert.
• Make comments on ideas
• Vote on ideas
• Take surveys

way to do that.”
Your feedback will be used to help develop the city’s long-term
plan for growth and development, called the Comprehensive
Plan. Earlier this year, the city began an 18-month process to
develop the plan, which is being developed with extensive citizen
participation and input.
