Grey Wolfe Meadows I

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

Grey Wolfe Meadows I is a proposed mix of homes and shops on about 36 acres at the south-west corner of Route 9 and Joseph Road in unincorporated Sussex County, Delaware. County records describe shops on the first floor, apartments above, and separate single-family lots. The plan totals 132 homes.

Local news coverage describes the same project as the first of two linked applications, with the developer listed as Bedford Holdings LLC. The first application covers 60 single-family homes, 72 condo units in three buildings and about 31,500 square feet of commercial space. A second application next door would add more homes and a small shopping center, for about 178 homes in all. The land is now zoned for farming and housing and has an old farmhouse that would be removed. The developer would ask to rezone the Route 9 frontage for commercial use.

State agencies reviewed the plan in September 2024. The state planning office, the state transportation department and the state environmental agency all opposed it. They said the area is not one where the state wants growth, and they asked for a coordinated corridor plan first. No later approvals or county decisions were found.

What it could mean nearby

• Traffic: the traffic study estimated roughly 2,575 weekday trips for this section, and the state transportation department opposed the plan. It is finalizing a corridor report for Route 9.
• Housing and shops: the plan would add 132 homes and about 31,500 sq ft of commercial space where there is now farmland.
• Open space: about 14 acres of open space are planned, but that figure includes stormwater ponds.
• Utilities and transit: a private utility company would supply water and sewer, and the state bus agency suggested bus stops on both sides of Route 9.

Where it stands

The project was at the early review stage in fall 2024, when state agencies commented, and no county decision was found. Next, the county Planning Commission usually holds a public hearing and makes a recommendation, and then the County Council decides on the rezoning.
