enforce any remedy provided by law for the collection of taxes or the enforcement of any tax liens
(whether the taxes or tax liens are evidenced by the original tax receipts, tax sales certificates, or
otherwise) unless the action or procedure is instituted within 10 years from the date the taxes became
due.
Therefore, on this the 7th day of October 2024, Collector of Revenue, Allison Snell, asks the New Hanover
County Board of County Commissioner's to release the levy for tax year 2014 from the charge as the 10

WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) / Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Bridge
Investment Program (BIP) is part of a larger suite of discretionary federal funding authorized under the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL), which aims to significantly improve and/or rebuild America's infrastructure across all fifty
states and U.S. Territories. The funding programs offered by the DOT and its agencies is historic in terms of the large

Bridge, both of which are currently rated in Fair condition but will fall into Poor condition within three years, Each
bridge replacement will align with current DOT standards and be designed with improved safety, accessibility,
mobility, and climate change concerns for all potential road users; and
WHEREAS, the 4th Street Bridge is a three span bridge that was built in 1950 with a design loading rate of 25 tons.
Since 2016, the load bearing capacity of the bridge has been steadily restricted and is now at 10 tons, This means
that the bridge can no longer accommodate buses and emergency response vehicles. The replacement of the 4th
Street Bridge was marked as a high priority item in the City's Bridge Asset Management Plan and is to be replaced
with a new three span bridge; and
4th Street Bridge is being coordinated with the potential future extension of passenger rail. This passenger rail will
pass under 4th Street Bridge and will develop alongside the first phase of the City's Downtown Trail project. The

multimodal access for residents who do not have cars and primarily use transit or walk. All three projects will
therefore act in concert to provide the surrounding neighborhoods and the greater Wilmington region with
improved access to local businesses, houses of worship, jobs, medical facilities, and home; and
WHEREAS, the Pine Grove Bridge was built in 1976 and is currently an approximately 60 linear foot cored slab bridge
over Hewlett's Creek. High traffic volumes and deterioration of the substructure has degraded the bridge over time.
It is anticipated that continued deterioration will result in future load restrictions; and
commercial, and residential areas along the Pine Grove Drive corridor and beyond. Future load restrictions on the
bridge would impact emergency response times as well as force additional traffic to South College Road. As such,
Management Plan; and
WHEREAS, the new structure that will replace the current Pine Grove Drive bridge will be an approximately 600
linear foot bridge spanning the coastal wetlands. The proposed bridge will have an increased load capacity, allow for
the removal of the existing causeway, and consequently provide an environmental benefit through the natural
restoration ofcoastal wetlands. The longer and higher bridge will also improve the vertical clearance from the water
surface tothe low chord ofthe bridge. This will address concerns about future sea level rise due toclimate change
in addition to improving access to the navigable channel under the bridge. A 104bot multi -use path will be
implemented on the bridge to facilitate future connection of the Greenville Loop Trail to the Masonboro Loop Trail,
which will allow residents and guests of the region improved access to area amenities; and
WHEREAS, the proposed B|P grant funding will he an integral part of transforming the existing bridges to better
serve the needs of the Citys residents and visitors from a variety of angles that will address safety, mobility,
accessibility, the environment, resiliency, among other pressing issues; and
WHEREAS, this project is vital to the emergency preparedness and economic vitality of not only Wilmington,but the
greater Wilmington metropolitan area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners that it is in support of the
City ofVVi|mington'sapplication tothe U.S.Department ofTransportation /Federa|HighwayAdministraton's8rNQe
