Marshallton Village is thinking about moving to the Hometown Overlay (HTO) just as other unincorporated towns in New Castle County have done, reports The Community News. The other towns that have adopted HTO are Hockessin, Greenville, Claymont and St. Georges.
Antoni Pardo’s article does a great job detailing how the idea of HTO is dividing this community. It seems to be a battle between the new residents and the old, the new residents favoring the HTO and the old residents wanting to keep everything the way it is.
A lifelong resident told The Community News, “Newcomers want a lot of things changed. I don’t see it changing in my lifetime.”
