R-1 ii Eastern Infrastructure Improvement Study: A Report to the North Carolina General Assembly Executive Summary Senate Bill 402 Legislation The Eastern Infrastructure Improvement Study (EIIS) assesses how improvements at three points in Eastern North Carolina’s transportation network may support the expected growth and greater economic development in the region. The three transportation network locations considered are: 1) the former section of rail line between Wallace and Castle Hayne north of Wilmington (W2CH), 2) access improvements on and around the Port of Morehead City (MHC), and 3) improvements on and around the Global TransPark (GTP).
