When Southport resident Andy Beacham needs to shop, he drives to Leland. On Friday, Beacham took his dog Max to the newly opened Petsense in Leland’s Westgate Marketplace. “It’s wonderful for Leland and for us living in Southport,” Beacham said of the new businesses opening in Leland. “It’s nice because we don’t have to drive all the way to Wilmington for shopping.” New buildings, apartments, businesses and residents are all part of the growth that’s occurring rapidly at four major sites in the Leland area.
