Wilmington– WHY HE’S AN INFLUENCER: Norvell and his company are having a major impact on the industrial sector of Wilmington’s economy. In July, Norvell announced that Edgewater Ventures, in partnership with McKinley Building Corp., would be developing its second building at Wilmington Trade Center on U.S. 421, following the completion of the 157,610-square-foot Building 1. 


“Wilmington Trade Center Building Two is Edgewater Ventures’ second ground-up development in the Wilmington market and will add to the company’s industrial portfolio in the area, which will grow to approximately 1.5 million square feet,” according to a news release.

AIRPORT PLANS: Late last year, officials announced that Edgewater Ventures and CIL Capital LLC are bringing a combined $120 million in investment to Wilmington International Airport’s business park through two separate projects.
