BOLIVIA, NC — A new veterinary hospital has been proposed along NC 211 near Sunset Harbor Road in Bolivia, a rapidly developing corridor serving residents of Southport, Oak Island, St. James and surrounding communities.
Plans submitted by Headwaters Engineering of the Cape Fear, PLLC, show a proposed 6,566-square-foot facility on a four-acre vacant parcel. A commercially zoned property owned by HMM Holdings LLC with an assessed value of approximately $216,000.
Plans call for 28 parking spaces and a full-service veterinary hospital designed with separate treatment areas for cats and dogs.
The hospital would include three cat exam rooms, six dog exam rooms, surgery space, x-ray facilities, intensive care, respiratory isolation, recovery rooms, a pharmacy and special-procedure areas.
The proposal comes as Brunswick County continues to experience significant population growth while remaining served by fewer than 10 veterinary hospitals. Three of those facilities are located in the Southport area, without any providing 24-hour emergency care.
If approved and constructed, the Bolivia facility could add both routine and advanced veterinary services along one of the county’s fastest-growing corridors, potentially reducing travel times for pet owners in the Southport-Oak Island area.
The site plan has been submitted for county review but has not yet received Brunswick County approval.
