PURPOSE:
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the City Manager to apply for the NCDEQ Resilient Coastal Communities Program grant.

Participating communities receive guidance for the development of “shovel-ready” projects. The grant supports local governments in completing a community engagement process, risk, and vulnerability assessment, and developing a resilience project portfolio.
The City of Wilmington will be applying for Phase 1 and Phase 2 funding.
