Growth has reached US 17 in Brunswick, but plenty of land remains

The cranes, subdivisions and commercial projects that have transformed much of Brunswick County have not consumed all the land along U.S. 17 . Roughly 50-miles of U.S. 17 has become the spine of Brunswick's growth, connecting some of the areas fastest-growing communities from Leland to Calabash. A StarNews analysis of county parcel records found the corridor still contains several thousands of acres untouched by the development bug . Using the county's Geographic Information System, the StarNews calculated roughly 21,009 acres across 3,106 parcels along the U.S. 17 corridor stretching from the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge to the South Carolina border. The calculation included about 15,890 acres that appear undeveloped within 1,293 parcels. Undeveloped identified parcels had no recorded construction year nor heated building area on property tax records. Those undeveloped parcels account for about 76% of the corridor's acreage. Among the largest properties identified in the corridor are tracts of 1,466 acres, 1,279 acres, 955 acres, 883 acres and 766 acres. Together, the five tracts represent more than 5,300 acres, or roughly one-quarter of the acreage, Municipalities, like Leland, continue to attract new residential and commercial development. However, several large tracts remain intact and only a fraction of the corridor

For these Brunswick seniors, retirement includes a part-time job

When David Young clocked out of DuPont in 1999, he expected to leave the workforce for good. Less than two years later, he was back on the job market. Now approaching his 83rd birthday and in his 27th year at a local hardware store, Young is among a growing number of Brunswick County retirees who continue to work well beyond traditional retirement age. Whether driven by financial need, rising health care costs or a desire for purpose and social connection, retirees are filling jobs across the county while helping meet employers' demand for part-time workers. Over the past decade, residents age 70 and up represent a growing 3.4% of the state's workforce, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Science (NCDHHS). Re-employed retirees may be subject to earnings limits with the Social Security Administration and/or their previous employer. NCDHHS partnered with the Division of Aging and the UNC Sheps Center for Health Services Research to create an age-related data and statistics dashboard. The dashboard shows roughly 86,150 of Brunswick residents over the age of 60. In addition, the dashboard highlights that 24% of Brunswick's residents 65 years old or older are in the labor force.

Chemours' plan to clean up forever chemicals in NC is ‘deficient,' state DEQ says

A chemical corporation that knowingly leaked forever chemicals into North Carolina’s air and water for decades has been working on a long-term plan to clean up its mess. But now, state environmental officials say the company’s cleanup plan has stalled and doesn’t go far enough to remove toxic chemicals as required by law. The chemicals have spread through rivers and groundwater in the Fayetteville region, the lower Cape Fear River basin and throughout major aquifers that supply water to southeastern North Carolina. In comments sent to the chemical company Chemours on Monday, the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality identified nearly 40 specific ways that Chemours needs to expand or strengthen its cleanup plan. “Today’s direction to the company makes clear that DEQ expects Chemours to clean up all the areas they have polluted,” DEQ secretary Reid Wilson said in a Monday news release. “DEQ will hold Chemours accountable no matter how long it takes.” PFAS, known as forever chemicals for their inability to break down in the environment, can be extremely toxic to human health when consumed at high concentrations.
