I met Leland’s new tourism and marketing coordinator, Jackie Harlow, who joined the town staff in October, just last week.
She said she had lived in Wilmington about 10 years before taking the new position and is considering a move across the bridge into Brunswick County to go with her new job.
I appreciated what she was considering giving up, that she was, so very, very close to reaching the tipping point where she was no longer new to the area and could almost be considered a part of her community.
