WMPO Launches Inaugural Newsletter

Feb 5 2025

The Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO) is excited to introduce its new bi-monthly newsletter, an initiative aimed at strengthening communication with member jurisdictions and keeping communities informed about regional transportation planning efforts.

The newsletter aims to provide important updates on policy developments and funding opportunities; project timelines and public comment opportunities; staff highlights, and upcoming events. It serves as a key resource to help members better understand WMPO’s work, stay engaged, and be informed about local and regional transportation planning. To view the inaugural issue, sent January 17th, click HERE.

Moving forward, the newsletter will be distributed via email every other month, with potential for future publication on the WMPO website. It also complements WMPO’s social media initiatives, providing another avenue for engagement and outreach.
