Many constituents have reached out to me asking for an update on the East Basin Road Groundwater Superfund site in our community.

I am happy to share that the EPA will host a public meeting next Tuesday, August 18th, beginning at 5:30 p.m., to provide an update on the ongoing remedial investigation and to answer any questions community members may have.

The meeting will be held at the Route 9 Library & Innovation Center located at 3022 New Castle Ave, New Castle, DE 19720.

The Battery Park Playground will be closed beginning Tuesday, 8/18 until further notice.

Thanks to the ONCOR Coalition- Old New Castle Outdoor Recreation Coalition- the Battery Park Playground will be upgrading to Phase II improvements with the installation of additional accessible equipment for visitors to enjoy; along with an accessible playground surface.

We are excited for the new improvements coming to the playground and are eager for them to be enjoyed upon completion of the project. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in avoiding the playground area.

Thank you!
