New vet hospital proposed for Brunswick County

A new animal facility is planning to set up shop in Brunswick County. Headwaters Engineering of the Cape Fear, PLLC, submitted a site plan for a new veterinary hospital near Southport and Oak Island . While the facility could bring more veterinary space, veterinary workers say the county needs more. Despite the population growth over the last two decades, Brunswick has less than 10 animal hospitals. Three of the facilities reside in the Southport area and none are open 24-hours. If emergency care is needed outside of operating hours, often 8 p.m. to 5 p.m., residents must travel to Wilmington. Some pet owners will even drive to Raleigh or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, River Road Animal Hospital Office Manager Morgan Dillard said. Dillard said the county could use more veterinary facilities, veterinarians and staff, especially a 24/7 emergency care facility. Though the hospital is expanding roughly triple the size due to the business outgrowing the existing building, Dillard expects the bigger facility will quickly reach capacity. "We are fully booked," Dillard said. One of the biggest challenges veterinary facilities face is staffing, said Dillard, noting finding and supporting enough adequate staff is a problem that stretches across the nation. Increases

Brunswick's utility needs lead to property disputes and court fights

(This story has been updated to add new information.) As Brunswick County scrambles to expand water and sewer infrastructure for rapid growth , the county is increasingly finding itself in court over the cost of acquiring private property. Though county records report taking of property by eminent domain to support growth, tension has risen between public infrastructure needs and property owners' disputes over compensation. County meeting minutes show commissioners authorizing condemnation authority at least four times between 2024 and October 2026. The actions involve projects ranging from wastewater improvements to reclaimed-water infrastructure and a future drinking-water reservoir. Though the county is focused on utility needs, residents are challenging compensation offers and the scope of property rights being acquired. "Brunswick County has in the last fifteen years primarily used the condemnation process for the acquisition of utility easements," County Communications Director Meagan Kascsak said. "The county uses easements when there is not enough room in the NCDOT rights-of-way for additional utility lines or the expansion of pump stations." In July 2025, commissioners authorized the acquisition of easements on three parcels "up to and including condemnation" following a closed-session discussion about property acquisition. Those parcels later became the subject of court actions
