Wilmington Port Expansion Delayed

The Port of Wilmington’s Edgemoor expansion is moving forward with preliminary work underway, but major construction won’t start until late 2028—with full operations expected by 2029. Environmental permits are secured, but officials remain vague on exact groundbreaking dates, hinting at a ceremony only after work begins. State lawmakers are pushing for clearer timelines as constituents demand visible progress tied to broader economic development. Funding remains uncertain too: an additional $110 million is needed, with the governor calling it “one-time” state funds—but no source or plan has been confirmed, following backlash over previous funding ideas.
