Millsboro downtown revitalization continues
The West State Street improvements project in Millsboro is underway. In addition to sidewalk replacement, paving and stormwater-related work will be performed. While it’s a Town of Millsboro project, both town and state funds will be used to complete the work. Sen. Gerald Hocker, R-Ocean View, and Rep. Richard Collins, R-Millsboro, worked to get state Community Transportation Fund monies allocated toward the project.
“The town is beyond excited to begin implementing the next phase of its downtown revitalization plan,” said Sheldon Hudson, town manager. “Now that the sidewalks along Main Street have been replaced, pavers added and the downtown public parking lot repaved, the town can shift its focus to other needed improvements.
“While one can never know for sure, the town believes the additional public investments in the downtown area will continue to attract private investment and interest. The recent purchase of the former Carey’s Frame Shop property and the renovations being made to Royce Mini Mall may be just the start of a major trend in this regard.”
The Delaware Department of Transportation has plans to repave Main and Washington streets once the West State Street improvements project has been completed.
