CASTLE HAYNE — An outdoor event space equipped with an amphitheater might be coming to Castle Hayne, if the project can secure a rezoning bid in New Hanover County.
Driftwood Farms Event Center is the working title of the in-the-works project, which involves an open-air amphitheater and multiple event spaces, positioned on Castle Hayne Road.
The 19-acre piece of undeveloped land across from Stricks Trading Post Lane has not been sold for at least the past 65 years, and instead has moved between different trusts, most recently to one belonging to Susan Moore Skinner in 2012. Property records show Skinner’s family maintained ownership of the plot since at least the 1950s.
