By December, (click here) rental cars will no longer be at risk of running onto the runway at Wilmington International Airport.
The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Monday to borrow $4.5 million on the airport's behalf. The money will be used to build a new rental car service maintenance center at Hall Drive and Blue Clay Road.
“It's easier for cars to be delivered there, and it's not in the primary center of our business park endeavor, and it frees up the (current) space,” said Jon Rosborough, the airport's executive director..
The new building, which will be able to fit between four and six cars when it is finished in December, will be used to clean cars and perform routine maintenance after they are returned. Construction is slated to start in May....

Oh, well.

Heritage Park is in the northern part of the county near North 23rd Street and Castle Hayne Road, and Marquis Hills is in the southern part of the county near South College and Sanders roads....
