| So, Cheswold people, what is the latest on your grand new Wal-Mart there on 13? I don't see much happening.

| Tails -- I seem to recall that your idea was to obtain a parcel of land and build some sort of a civic center -- an indoor ice hockey/basketball/arena football/soccer facility for Cheswold.

I had that same idea three years ago and was pretty much laughed off the forum.

Seeing the big picture hummmmmmmmmmmm!
small planes flying in to gamble , passenger trains coming from near and far to Dover downs to lay their money down , Dart having buses every 1/2 hour to out staters and our newly acquired trans-planters to homes in the country that need to be bought to boost the states economy.
Nah!!!!!! Cheswold wanting to facilitate this kind of venture.
Is the State of Delaware willing to stop wasteful spending on programs that do not work for something that could .

I would not let Walmarts be a God Save the Queen ( in this case the town ) ideal to have the box store for your only option . Now I have nothing against the chain but if they get a better deal 5 miles down the road they will move out.
With all the senior moving in the area , I would cater to them, but the town would first have to ask it's residents for more then tax money to pay the towns bills with out any real service .
There are so many transplants coming from other areas think the grass is green in a small town and moving to Cheswold busted a lot of bubbles.
The town Clerks have nothing nice to say , the residents are in a up roar all the time , the police department is a joke . Sadly they don't find all this out until they made the move. Most of the Council start out by trying to do the right thing but they just lose their way when it comes to what they want the future to be.
All for me and none for you

Helen would be happy
But I don't see Walmart right there .
Common sense needs to be used in requesting from and working with the State.
Depending on how high the structure could be built in that town , no taller then Dover Downs in my opinion.
Getting the right investors, land management team and contractors for this kind of project would do some doing but it could work.
Cheswold Town Council needs to implement a good infrastructure but have fail to do so the past 20 years. There grants out there to help them but they have not the ingenuity to follow through . Greed and stupidity have been a road block to the town's success . The towns present council have the power with in but are afraid to act.
It's all good and well to allow an older person to have is last haray but at the cost of the town, they should let the mayor go , by keeping him mayor cause they do not wish to give him a vote or the other council members don't have the time to take over day to day duties is hog wash , they should never have ran for Council if they didn't have time.
The town must be ran as a business not a corner bar were we go to have drinks and gossip .
All employees must a have purpose to have a job . They must treat the job as if they want it . They must execute their jobs as professionals.
Respect all who enter their place of business and this includes the police deparment and I just don't see these things going on in the town.

Land is already cleared except for house and tool and die factory , this piece of land is near air port and there is ample parking and buses and cab companies can flow through even limo pick ups.
It should be a state and Amtrak and town connection as far a the taxing issue , the town might want to permit business inside the town limits. The roads will need to widen. The town may want to clean the area up . The area where they intend on placing housing they may want to reconsider .

| Special opp --- where will the town get the money to build the new combined passenger station for the railroad and buses, and how will it attract a hotel and conference center? The town would have to bulldoze half the structures there to make space. A bus can go almost anywhere, but trains are pretty much limited to operating on tracks. Taxi licenses issued by the town could generate some money, but not enough.

This may surprise some but there are talks going on to have passenger train connections and more buses through out the state . At first it may be slow but it will save time and money in the long run for Delaware. Taking cars off the road and accident prevention and a greener state.

The money the town spent on the would be park could have been added to the state grant that was being offered and there would be a complete park.
Only thing is Cheswold didn't want the state to tell them how to run it / bad choice or not many will be on the fence on this but in the long run I will bet that will be the only way that park gets built.
Parker Runn on the other hand they had a chance to have the developer get the part done for it's residents ( before the first move in) but the need for greed got in the way of doing what was best for the town and Parker Runns Families

LOL!!!! Helen, do you really believe that this will ever be done? Even the developers who were to put in parklands have been permitted to fail to do that!!! The "park" that you refer to concerning money spent for nothing will likely forever remain what it is today -- a field of weeds!!

Cheswold is too small for a walk-in clinic, Helen. There is not even a barber shop in town! There is also a resource center in cheswiold -- first property west of the fire house. The town council wants a big box store, but who will be the customers who need big boxes? I don't know what you mean about following the towns rules on hiring/firing and and who could be on council. Please explain that.

Cheswold has already lost out to smyrna, Helen. Look at how many houses have been built in smyrna. Their mayor envisions a hospital, a medical mecca I believe were her words -- a new deltech campus, a water park, and other things. The mayor there said it -- it has to be true!!

I don't think the towns people will appreciate allowing business not to pay taxes for 4 years or more just to get a developers project into the town so they don't have to follow the county rules and laws ( cutting cost and corners ) to hook in the big fish that will destroy you like a shark rips apart it's pray !
Look whats going on in Camden now ! The police budget is being stretched to it's limit.

| Helen -- maybe the town could buy the house across from the post office. The mayor & Council seem to like to have fallen down houses for a town hall building! I would think the new hotel/conference center would have things such as restaurants, a barber shop, etc to accommodate the passengers coming into the new rail station to be built there.

Now now Mr. Mayor
have you been on the prowl again ?
Or are you sending out one of your arms of council to use the business people on 13 to get to Wal-mart ?
Are you promising they will not have to pay no town tax to get them in ? While you will be charging the rest of the town for services that do not exists ? Will you dis-guard that council member as others have been ?
The town must be desperate or is a case of a ego that will be crushed ?
I'm not sure if it is your cupidity that's getting in the way of your common sense . You can't fix the action of the past by destroying the town's future by trying to get one business in that will cause you more trouble in the long run.
I would think about having thing in this town people really need
Barber's shop, restaurants post office , Library, transporting and there is room you have rather then let it be filled with houses .
And hasn't someone in the planing commission ( state ) and someone in the county said the town could not handle it.

One thing about Walmarts, after they come to town you can kiss your main streets goodbye.
Or, you could pay a little more, and support and keep your main street mom and pop stores.
Once they're gone, there's usually no bringing them back.

Sounds like a good money maker.

Hey painter you know you don't have to go to Smyrna or Dover to get your drugs any more.
There are two pharmaceutical outlets in the town of Cheswold they been operating with out any license for a few years now so I guess that mean you don't need yours to pick up you necessary medicals supplies.
One is near the Pizza shop the other on is on the corner of Fulton and School Lane

Helen dear - thank you for posting the wal-mart piece. Now I am anxious to see the new store built at Cheswold so that I can purchase some personal products there. I am absolutely certain that gordo will probably get there in line ahead of me, but I am able to hold out a bit longer.

Many towns refuse to allow sex shops in their jurisdiction but want Wal-marts.
