NEW HANOVER COUNTY When $1.25 billion in public assets changes hands to
a private group in New Hanover County as a result of the sale of the county-owned hospital, the intent of the transaction is that money will stay within county limits.

As a county-owned hospital, there’s no doubt New Hanover County deserves the overwhelming bulk of sale proceeds.
