The county's records describe a residential subdivision called The Wren. It would have about 64 single-family homes on Godwin School Road, outside Millsboro, in unincorporated Sussex County, Delaware. The most recent county filing is dated June 2024. The engineer named on the filing is Steve Fortunato, P.E.
The records do not say how many acres the site covers, what is on it now, or who the builder is. The surrounding area is mostly rural and residential, with a growing number of subdivisions.
A web search found no news coverage, hearing notices, minutes or developer pages that clearly refer to The Wren. Other projects near Godwin School Road, such as a larger 214-home proposal inside the Town of Millsboro, are separate and are not covered here.
What it could mean nearby
- About 64 new households would add traffic to Godwin School Road and nearby roads. The records do not include a traffic study.
- The records do not say whether open space, new utilities or road improvements are planned.
Where it stands
The county records show a filing as recently as June 2024. No public approval decision was found online. Subdivisions like this usually go through a county Planning Commission review, then a final plan approval, before any construction permits are issued.
