Barley Mill Plaza - County Executive Gordon Supports Relief Sought by Save Our County
Given the magnitude of the proposed Barley Mill Plaza project, the County Executive agrees with the injunctive remedy sought by “Save Our County.” Consistent with his campaign promises, County Executive Gordon firmly believes that a traffic study should have been conducted and provided to County Council prior to the vote to rezone.
Developing over 36 acres of commercial space on Route 141 could have significant consequences to the quality of life of the nearby citizens along with major economic implications for the City of Wilmington.
Update: Adam Taylor has the story ~
The owner of the property, Stoltz Real Estate Partners, also is named in the suit. Stoltz attorney John Tracey declined comment.
The suit was filed a year ago, when Paul Clark was county executive. Gordon took office Nov. 13.
Councilwoman Janet Kilpatrick said she was stunned by Gordon’s comments. “I’m shocked,” she said. “This is a lawsuit against the county. Why are we making statements at all?” County Council also is named in the suit. The council voted 7-6 to rezone 37 of the property’s 92 acres from office to commercial use.
