The Whiteville City Council meeting on July 22, 2025, focused on significant infrastructure developments, particularly a construction project involving Apex Construction. The council discussed a base bid of approximately $1 million, which, after adjustments and contingencies, totals around $1,468,765.

The project includes improvements to the Walton Trail, parking areas, sidewalks, and a boardwalk, funded in part by the Land and Water Trust Fund. Council members expressed optimism about the enhancements these projects will bring to the community.

Additionally, the council noted the ongoing roundabout project by the Department of Transportation (DOT), which is expected to complement the improvements being made by Apex Construction. The collaboration between these projects aims to enhance the overall infrastructure and accessibility in Whiteville.

The meeting highlighted the importance of these developments for the city's growth and the positive impact they will have on residents and visitors alike. Further updates on the progress of these projects are anticipated as they move forward.
