WILMINGTON – Wilmington City Council took action Tuesday night to move forward with renovating the pocket park connecting Front Street and the newly constructed River Place along Water Street.
Originally planned as part of the River Place project, the revitalization of Bijou Park was delayed last spring after it came in approximately $800,000 over budget. The city found a more affordable price this fall after receiving several new bids .
“The numbers came in much better this time,” Mike Naklicki, project manager with the city, told the council Monday during an agenda briefing.
