1. RODNEY RESERVOIR PARK GRAND OPENING

Many thanks to the City of Wilmington for a beautiful park ribbon cutting event on October 8th. It was a wonderful opportunity to show appreciation to City staff members, the design, engineering and build teams, elected officials and community members who worked to create this amazing new park for all to enjoy! Enjoy some photos of the event and check out a video by WITN here.
