This master-planned community falls within the Claymont Hometown Overlay Zone and Renaissance District and the design includes a public library, retail shops, and a variety of living choices from apartments and townhouses to Manor homes.

THE TOWN OF WHITEHALL
CLIENT: The Welfare Foundations
LOCATION: Middletown, DE
KEY SERVICES: Master Planning, Street/Road Design, Drainage & Stormwater Management
PROJECT DETAILS
The Town of Whitehall is the first new Delaware town in over 100 years. It consists of 7 villages and hamlets located on Lorewood Grove Road, just south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and is intended to be a walkable community with homes and businesses of all types and sizes. The design and permitting of this revolutionary return to small town America presented many challenges. While some areas of Mapleton Village fit the typical suburb definition, portions of the subdivision more closely resemble tree lined city streets with street parking and wide sidewalks with open storefronts. V&L helped in the Master Planning of the town and was the first to design this type of mixed use village in Delaware using the county’s newly adopted “SmartCode” inspired regulations incorporating numerous “Transects” of various usage and density. We worked closely with the leadership and engineers at the Delaware Department of Transportation and New Castle County to permit this innovative subdivision design.
