Senator Kay Hagan sent a letter Monday to the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget urging him to reconsider the recent decision to move Brunswick County out of the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area.

GREENSBORO, NC (WECT) – Senator Kay Hagan sent a letter
Monday to the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget urging him
to reconsider the recent decision to move Brunswick County out of the
Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Hagan cited the long-term negative consequences the change
could have on the economy in Southeastern North Carolina.

"The assertion that Brunswick County shares closer core and
economic ties to Myrtle Beach than Wilmington is incorrect," Hagan wrote in her
letter to OMB Acting Director Jeffrey Zients.  "It is my strong belief
that Brunswick County has shared and continues to share workforce, cultural,
and industrial ties with the rest of the Wilmington MSA. I urge OMB to reconsider
the decision to move Brunswick County out of the Wilmington MSA."
