MEMORANDUM

TO: Wilmington Area Media

FROM: UNCW Chancellor Rosemary DePaolo

Wilmington Mayor Spence Broadhurst

RE:

Campus of UNC Wilmington



You are cordially invited to join us for a news conference to announce plans to establish an innovative joint City of Wilmington, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and community task force. The purpose of the task force will be to examine a variety of quality of life issues related to UNCW’s impact on city neighborhoods, make recommendations to the university and the City Council for action, and ultimately to develop partnerships and shared responsibility for managing these issues.



Among the issues on the task force agenda will be parking, housing density, late night parties, noise, and litter, with the underlying value of how we as a community preserve a reasonable quality of life for families while allowing students to maintain that same quality of life.



Please join us for this news conference. Light refreshments will be served.
