Wilmington -- The location of the Feb. 12 meeting of the newly formed University/Community Relations Task Force has changed from Alderman 215 to University Union 100 on the campus of UNC Wilmington. The meeting will be held from 3-5 p.m. with parking available in Parking Lot "M" across from the baseball practice field.

The newly formed task force, announced by UNCW and the city last month, will examine a variety of quality of life issues related to UNCW's impact on city neighborhoods. It will make recommendations to the university and the City Council for action, and ultimately develop partnerships and shared responsibility for managing these issues.

Among the issues the task force will consider are 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.
