The Avenue, the 44-acre development coming to Military Cutoff Road, faced opposition from both the public and the city's planning staff from the beginning but was ultimately approved. A big part of that outcome? A private economic impact study conducted by UNCW for the developer that promised thousands of jobs, millions of tax dollars, and hundreds of millions of dollars pumped in the economy.
The study was performed as part of a contract with the Swain Center, part of UNCW’s Cameron School of Business. The study is private, and was not included in the agenda materials when The Avenue came before Wilmington’s Planning Commission and City Council.
