The Hunters' Run proposal is for a large mixed-use development on about 88 acres along DuPont Boulevard (Route 113) near Dagsboro, in unincorporated Sussex County. County records describe 270 workforce housing units alongside medical office space, roughly 200,000 square feet of retail and roughly 100,000 square feet of restaurant space.
The land is currently zoned residential. The plan asks to move it to a commercial/residential zoning, which would allow the shops, restaurants and offices. Workforce housing generally means homes aimed at people who work in the local area and earn moderate incomes.
No news coverage, developer webpage, meeting minutes or hearing decisions about this specific project were found online. Details such as tenants, opposition or approvals could not be confirmed beyond the county filing.
What it could mean nearby
- Roughly 300,000 square feet of commercial space on a major highway could add noticeably to traffic and turning movements on DuPont Boulevard.
- 270 homes would add residents who may use local schools, roads, water and sewer, though no utility or school figures were found.
- Retail, restaurant and medical uses would likely create local jobs and nearby services.
