Pause construction, save area’s beauty
I grew up in Coolspring off Route 9 between Georgetown, Milton and Lewes. I am a graduate of Cape Henlopen High School. I spent a lot of my formative years in Milton and Lewes. I moved away over 30 years ago, but since I still have family who live in the area, I come back to visit and go to the beach. Every time I come back to visit I notice dramatic changes to the area.

There is a pop-up McMansion on every corner, in every farm field and near every marsh.
