A subdivision of 90 townhouses is proposed on the east side of Savannah Road, about 400 feet north of Donovans Road. The site is near the City of Lewes in Sussex County, Delaware. County records list the project type as townhomes and show a latest filing on 2024-06-01. An engineering professional is named on the filing.
The records do not say what is on the land now, who will build the homes, or whether they will be for sale or for rent. Online searches found a different 90-townhome proposal near Savannah Road that Lewes City Council approved in preliminary form in April 2025. That project is on a site between Savannah Road and Kings Highway, inside city limits. The sources do not show it is the same project, so it is not treated as this one.
What it could mean nearby
- Savannah Road would probably carry the added trips from 90 households, but no traffic study was found.
- The project would add 90 homes to the area near Lewes.
- Schools, utilities and open space effects are not described in the available records.
Where it stands
A subdivision application was filed with the county, with the latest filing dated 2024-06-01. Such proposals usually go to a public hearing before the county planning commission, which then makes a recommendation or decision on the subdivision. Current status was not confirmed online.
