What’s going on? Look around you. Read the news!
The areas of Lewes and Rehoboth are like a runaway train with an unhappy ending.
New residential developments, including multi units, and proposed mega shopping strips are crowding an already-tight infrastructure. Road construction is like getting a root canal while sitting on hemorrhoids while you sit in traffic. Route 24, Robinsonville Road, Plantation Road, just to name a few, and the infamous Route 1.
It’s time to institute a two-year moratorium on permits for any new construction.
Progress is necessary, but there will be a diminishing return on attracting new residents and visitors if uncontrolled development continues to occur.
