New Castle County Council

County Councilmember David Carter said he plans to present the ordinance for a vote by late November.

New County Councilmembers heard the resolution presenting the partnership with Delaware Family Hope at Tuesday’s Council meeting.

The resolution failed to pass and intended to formally ask the Auditor to look into reassessment methodologies.

It was the county’s first reassessment in 40 years.

The proposed ordinance will be introduced Aug. 5. It comes after the county received an application for a 6 million square-foot data center that could be built near Delaware City.

The same ordinance would also allow those paying in installments to have late fees waived.

New Castle County will have new impact fees for new construction starting on July 1.
