Report-A-Problem
Damaged signs or streetlights, overflowing trash, broken fire hydrants and parking meters, graffiti - all of these discourage people who work, visit or live in Wilmington. But figuring out whose job it is to fix things is no small task…there isn't a single managing entity responsible for making sure that everything is clean, well maintained and in working order. Downtown Visions would like to help. Below is a listing of typical downtown 'issues' and the corresponding entity to call to report the problem.
