White Clay Point is a proposed mixed-use development on about 221 acres along Route 41 in New Garden Township. County records describe 353 townhomes and a 6,600-square-foot convenience store.
The land is a long-vacant site. It was once planned as a retail and town-center project by a previous owner, and the township has settlement agreements from 2007 and 2011 covering that earlier plan. The site was under a purchase agreement between its owner and the developer as of mid-2025.
A November 2025 trade-press report described a larger concept: about 622 homes, a roughly 30,000-square-foot grocery store and other retail, with a national home builder building the homes. That is more than the 353 townhomes in the latest county filing, so the plan appears to have changed or been scaled back. The convenience store's operator is not confirmed in the county record.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic on Route 41 is the most likely concern. The records reviewed give no traffic study results.
- 353 townhomes would add many new households, which could mean more demand for schools and local services.
- A convenience store and other retail would add local shopping and some jobs.
- Neither the records nor the sources reviewed give details on open space or utilities.
Where it stands
The township reviewed a concept plan in July 2025, and a land development application was filed with the county, with the latest filing on 2026-04-27. Next, the township planning commission and supervisors usually review the plans in public meetings and decide whether to approve them.
