Boxwood plant developer Harvey Hanna & Associates will hold a public meeting on exploratory plans for the former General Motors Boxwood site.
Plans call for the demolition of the existing plant buildings, in order to make way for a distribution campus.
“So while it is with mixed emotions that we ultimately decided on demolishing the old structure, a new facility would allow us to better compete for the kind of logistics, distribution and other businesses built to thrive in the 21st century, and bring thousands of critical jobs back to New Castle County,” Harvey Hanna stated in a Facebook post
The plan is currently being evaluated by the county and other government agencies, but the early feedback we have received from both officials and residents, including many former plant workers, has been positive, the company reported.
The meeting is slated for June 12th at 7 p.m. at Five Points Memorial Hall, 209 South Maryland Avenue.
Those in attendance will hear from Harvey Hanna, its engineering firm Apex Engineering, and a representative from the state Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
