📰 News we're reading

• New details emerge in Compass Pointe lawsuit in Leland (newsbreak.com) — Brunswick County residents are challenging Leland’s approval of the Seaward Pointe development, arguing the town unlawfully rezoned land and okayed a 25-year agreement without clear roadway rights. A consent order now sends key easement disputes to binding arbitration in Wilmington, temporarily pausing claims against Leland. The outcome could determine traffic access, environmental impacts, and whether the project proceeds as approved.
   

• West flag football seeks first conference win (newsargus.com) — West Brunswick’s girls flag football team recently picked up its first-ever program win and also played a doubleheader in Leland against North Brunswick and New Hanover, falling in both games but showing improvement. Coach Donnie Johnson praised the team’s defensive adjustments, big runs from several players, and stronger effort over six straight quarters as they head deeper into conference play.
   

• Environmental groups request feds look into data used for CFMB replacement (portcitydaily.com) — Leland has joined Wilmington, New Hanover County, and several environmental groups in asking federal agencies to reexamine decades-old data guiding the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge replacement. Advocates say a fresh look could reopen consideration of a lower, cheaper fixed bridge that still meets today’s shipping needs. They also warn that overestimating deep-draft traffic could spur more dredging and damage sensitive wetlands upriver from Leland.
