Barlley Mill Plaza Development Case to Resume in April

Delmarva Public Media | By Don Rush
Published February 20, 2013 at 8:45 AM EST

The lawsuit to overturn the development plans for the Barley Mill Plaza office complex will resume April 22nd.

The case has been delayed after documents surfaced that New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon charged showed a potential for wrongdoing connected to the development.

Chancery Court Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock III imposed a delay without reviewing the documents adding it could turn into a criminal matter.

Save Our County sued New Castle County and Barley Mill LLC in December of 2011 saying a traffic study should have been done before the County Council approved rezoning the property.

Meanwhile, Gordon changed the County’s position two months after taking office and now opposes the development.
