Sussex County Land Trust hosts groundbreaking at Nanticoke Crossing Park

Sussex County Land Trust

BETHEL — The Sussex County Land Trust in late November hosted the groundbreaking and commencement of trailhead and waterfront improvements for Nanticoke Crossing Park, a 41-acre property located off Woodland Ferry Road overlooking the Nanticoke River adjacent to the historic Woodland Ferry terminal.

State of Delaware and Sussex County officials joined land trust board members at the event.

Once home to a manufactured home community, the SCLT and its partners acquired and repurposed the property for preservation and future public recreation.

The opportunity to protect the site was presented to the land trust in 2021 by the Chesapeake Conservancy, a non-profit with the mission of conserving and restoring Chesapeake landscapes and connecting people to the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

“This park is a prime example of a small parcel with a big impact for our planet,” said Chesapeake Conservancy President & CEO Joel Dunn stated. “While providing much-needed local recreational opportunities and public access to the Nanticoke River, permanent conservation of this wildlife habitat plays a much larger role.”

“To protect biodiversity, the world’s leading scientists have called for the protection of 30% of the Earth’s lands and waters by 2030. Conservation partners are striving toward the ambitious target of protecting half of the Delmarva peninsula by 2050. This can be accomplished one parcel at a time through local opportunities like Nanticoke Crossing Park,” Mr. Dunn said.

After identifying the property as an ideal property for preservation and recreation, the land trust secured several other key partners for the acquisition and future development of the property, including Sussex County Council through its Land Conservation Program, Mt. Cuba Center, U.S. Navy (Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program), Delaware Open Space Program, and Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Funding for the project was made possible by a $90,000…

Former Pulaski school in Glen Lyon leveled by inferno amid loft apartment project

GLEN LYON — An inferno engulfed the former Pulaski school on Market Street in Glen Lyon on a frigid Monday night, drawing a response from fire companies from throughout Luzerne County.

The former school, which closed in 1980, had been under construction for years as part of a developer’s plan to create 29 luxury loft apartments at the property.

Parts of the building collapsed during the intense fire and demolition crews were called in Tuesday to raze the remnants of the building as fire crews continued to spray water on smoldering debris.

When fire crews arrived on scene Monday night, they were met with an inferno shooting through the old school’s roof. The blaze forced the closure of Main Street in Glen Lyon for hours as crews battled the stubborn blaze. The intense fire forced the building’s roof to cave in and much of the right side to collapse.

Flames shooting out of the side of the old school melted the siding on the next-door house, but fire crews prevented fire from jumping to the neighboring house.

Fire departments from throughout the region and from as far as Berwick responded to the scene and the Luzerne County Tanker Task Force was activated to assist in battling the blaze.

Bitter cold complicates firefighting efforts in Newport Township

Firefighters from multiple departments battle a blaze at old Pulaski School in Glen Lyon, facing challenges from freezing temperatures, ice, and water flow issues.

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — Smoke continues to pour out of the old Pulaski School in the Glen Lyon section of Newport Township. Crews from several departments across Luzerne County, including the Nanticoke City Fire Department, have come out to provide mutual aid. Fire crews have been working to contain the flames since 8:30 p.m. on Monday. 

“We have to band together in order to make these things work, just to share resources, volunteers,” said Andy Kopco.

Kopco is a firefighter with the Nanticoke City Fire Department. He says one of the biggest challenges has been the bitter cold and single-digit temperatures.

“There’s no way to prepare yourself for it, you just kind of do…” the four-year fire veteran said.

The cold weather brought water tankers Monday night to help battle the blaze.

“There was a problem with water flow. That’s part of the problem we have in the wintertime; you can have hydrants that freeze,” said Deputy Chief Tom Sadowski, Nanticoke City Fire Department.

Sadowski said portions of the trucks can also freeze, where just about everything gets coated in water and ice.

“Climbing up and down the ladder when it’s iced up, you know, that causes its own challenges. Trying not to fall in every direction you’re going. Hoses tend to freeze up,” recalled Kopco.

The ice was on the trucks and gear, as well as the firefighters. Many fought the major fire on South Market Street in Glen Lyon for over 10 hours.

“They don’t realize they’re sweating enough, with it being wintertime. Then, when they stop moving after all that sweating, the cold air comes in, and now you’re…

Seaford Receives Federal Funding for Riverwalk Revitilization

SEAFORD, DE – Governor John Carney, joined by other state and local officials, announced 3 million dollars in federal funding aimed at cleaning up the abandoned power plant along the Nanticoke River in Seaford Thursday. 

Seaford Mayor Matt MacCoy told WBOC the plot of land has been on the radar for years. 

“This is the number one property in the city of Seaford that we get asked about all the time, ‘What are you gonna do with that old powerplant?” MacCoy said. “Today is the very first step in that process.”

That brownfield grant aims to demolish the building, as well as decontaminate the soil and riverbeds surrounding it. 

“It’s to protect the Nanticoke and to protect the citizens of Seaford,” DNREC Secretary Shawn Garvin said. “It’s a public health, it’s an environmental, and it’s an economic investment in the community.”

City officials told us this grant money will go towards the first step of their plan to revitalize the riverfront area. After the site is repurposed, city officials said they hope to turn the property into a community space. 

While nothing is set in stone, Fisher Architecture LLC. provided WBOC with a rendering of potential ideas for the space.

“I know our residents would love to see something on the riverfront that they can enjoy,” MacCoy said. “People talk about a restaurant or bar. The opportunities are endless.”

City and state officials said they do not have a set timeline for when the work will begin. However, they said receiving this grant is a big step towards the work beginning.

Governor Carney, DNREC, City of Seaford Celebrate Investments in Riverfront Redevelopment

build-a-better-community-OCMD

Governor John Carney yesterday joined Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Secretary Shawn M. Garvin and other officials to announce a $3 million investment in cleaning up a riverfront site for redevelopment as part of the City of Seaford’s revitalization. The funding will be used by DNREC’s Remediation Section to manage the environmental cleanup of the former city power plant site next to the Nanticoke River. 

 

Additional information:

The property is part of a riverfront redevelopment plan by the city and developers David Perlmutter, Faith Perlmutter Diamond and Warren Diamond. More than $207,000 in State funding – from Delaware’s Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA) and DNREC’s Brownfields Program – has gone into a site investigation and remediation (cleanup) of the property where Seaford’s oil-fired power plant operated for more than 80 years before it was decommissioned in 2015.

 

The developers already have created luxury apartments along the Nanticoke River in downtown Seaford. The current proposal is to create a riverwalk area containing luxury living with retail stores, restaurants and office space. The plan concept stretches from Front Street to Oyster House Park and includes a partnership with the Chesapeake Conservancy.

 

“I am proud to invest more resources in Seaford’s rejuvenation,” said Governor Carney, who also has committed funds toward the transformation of the Nylon Capital Shopping Center into a multi-purpose community facility that includes health care services, an education hub, an early learning center, co-working space and a job skills center. “As we have done in Wilmington and as we are doing in Dover, we are focusing on Seaford as a place to support revitalization efforts. We want people to know that Seaford is a strong community attractive to residents and visitors to live, work and raise their families. This…
