Plans Advance for 140 New Homes in Nottinghamshire Development

Residents of the Donovan Smith Manufactured Home Community in Lewes, Delaware, are divided over plans to add 31 new homes, with concerns about crowding and quality of life being raised by some, while others recognize the need for affordable housing. Longtime resident Jennie Eckenrode expressed skepticism about the community's capacity to accommodate the expansion, suggesting a park for children could be beneficial. Supporting voices, like Gary Hilton, argue that providing housing is crucial, particularly for young and retired people. Meanwhile, another resident, Terry Saunders, criticized the current rent levels and the overall affordability of the community. The Lewes Planning Commission is set to review the Conditional Use application on February 24. This local discourse reflects broader housing challenges faced across various communities in the U.S.
