The county filing describes a warehouse and storage complex of about 402,500 square feet on roughly 38 acres. The site is at Dupont Boulevard and McCabe Road, north of Selbyville in unincorporated Sussex County, Delaware. That is about the area of seven football fields of floor space under roof.
The land is currently zoned partly for commercial use (C-1) and partly for agricultural-residential use (AR-1). The applicant is asking the county to rezone it to HI-1 Heavy Industrial, which would allow a much wider range of industrial activity than the current zoning does. The county filing is dated 2025-05-01.
No news coverage, developer project page, meeting minutes or tenant announcements specific to this project were found, so its approval status, any opposition and the future occupant are unknown.
What it could mean nearby
- A building this size would likely bring truck and delivery traffic to Dupont Boulevard (Route 113) and McCabe Road, though no traffic study was found.
- Rezoning farmland and commercial land to heavy industrial would permanently change the land use at this corner.
- Utility needs such as sewer and water are not described in the records found.
